Close Infertility
Type: Other Uterine IssuesBecause of cancer treatments, I have no eggs left and am going in 2 months to see how thick my uterus is to see if I might be able to carry donated eggs/embryos. I just wish I could give him a child someday. I had gone through fertility treatments IVF, before my bone marrow transplant, but they didn't work. Now, after 6 yrs, I have returned to the rep.dr. to find out whether or not I had eggs left (I don't) and whether or not I can carry a baby.
