conceiving after chemo

Postby guest » Wed Dec 06, 2006 9:15 am

Does anyone know many months one should wait to conceive after chemo ends? My husband is finishing chemo this spring. Should I be seeking a fertility specialist?

Hi there,

Im surprised they did'nt offer you the chance of storing some of it before he started his chemo. I had a couple of good batches stored. But both the fertility nurse and my oncologist advised me to try and wait at least 12 months for it to leave the chemo to leave the body. But they also said, there was no hard evidence out there stating whether it would cause any problems if conceived before the 12 months. Hope this is of some help.

Nick
