Pregnancy after BMT

I was wondering if anyone here has become pregnant after having a BMT? I am 10 years post treatment. All my tests came back discouraging to conceive naturally. I went on to do in vitro fertilization with donor eggs. I got pregnant on the first attempt. However, I lost the baby at 10 weeks. My IVF doc told me that one of her first successful IVF patients using donor eggs was a young woman who had a BMT for CML. It gives me hope, but I would like to find more here on DS. Thank you all for any input you might have.

" I donated bone marrow to my younger sister, who is 27 years old. She was diagnosed with ALL at 13. She was told that she would not be able to have children.

Imagine the family's surprise when 2 years ago she got preggers. She was even on birth control. When she was vomiting all day, every day for a week, she thought it was a stomach flu.

Maybe just give your body a rest from the IVF treatments and relax? They say it always happens when you give up.

Good luck to you. "
