Ask-the-Expert Conferences: Fertility and Pregnancy

In this section you can read the answers given by breast cancer experts to these and many other important questions related to fertility and pregnancy:

• "How can I be certain that I am no longer fertile? I have not had a menstrual cycle since September 2003." Answer.
• "Will adoption agencies let you adopt if you are actively being treated for cancer?" Answer.
• "...I tried to get in to see a fertility specialist. They turned me away, saying they prefer I am at least 5 years out of treatment. Is this standard? Where do I turn for help if a fertility clinic won't help?"  Answer.
• "If I freeze my eggs, what are the chances that I can get pregnant and have a healthy baby? Or do you have a better chance by using someone's donor eggs?" Answer.

Every month, we invite you to ask questions and get answers from breast cancer experts on an important breast cancer-related topic.

Some of the topics we've covered in Ask-the-Expert Conferences include:

• Sex and Intimacy
• Managing Menopausal Symptoms
