I am starting cancer treatment, but want to have a baby in the future. Can my fertility be preserved?

Each year, about 10,000 reproductive-aged women are diagnosed with cancer in Australia. Many of them will require chemotherapy. A good proportion of these women will also desire fertility upon completing cancer treatment. Most chemotherapeutic agents destroy follicles and lead to a significant reduction in ovarian reserve.
Those facing chemotherapy have multiple options to preserve fertility and hormone secretion. Assisted reproduction through embryo or oocyte vitrification  may enable them to achieve a pregnancy using their own eggs (gametes). Egg donation also allows them to start a family, though not with their own eggs. Ovarian tissue freezing could provide them with a larger follicle pool upon successful transplantation and could restore the normal hormonal background. Medical or financial constraints, however, may prevent some women from using these options.
The use of medications such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) during chemotherapy could reduce the effect of chemotherapy on ovarian reserve. 12 out of 14 meta-analyses done on this issue supported the use of GnRHa for prevention of premature ovarian failure. Of the nine evaluating pregnancy rates, however, only two favored its use.
Based on their findings, we support the use of GnRHa for ovarian function preservation in women undergoing chemotherapy.
The maintenance of ovarian function in reproductive-aged women is important for reproductive as well as hormonal reasons. Hypogonadism resulting from chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage affects bone, cardiovascular, and mental health and long-term quality of life.
Assisted reproductive technology may offer solutions for fertility preservation, but the effect is limited by the number of eggs or embryos freezed, and it is expensive. Experience is limited with ovarian cortex or whole ovary transplantation. Ideally, the loss of follicles should be prevented. The impact of chemotherapy depends on the patient's age, the agent used, duration of exposure, and baseline ovarian reserve.
GnRHa was proposed to reduce the toxic ovarian effects by inducing a hypogonadotropic (suppressed) stage. Inactive follicles are more resistant to damage. GnRHa reduces the ovarian blood flow and lowers the amount of drugs reaching the follicles. Reports have been controversial; but, according to recent reviews, most meta-analyses support a benefit for ovarian function preservation.

I remember one day I sat down and counted all the men I have met in my life and I felt so small because I know I am not perfect but I give all I can to the man aiming to remain with him but at the end of the day I remained alone. Men could come and go and I couldn't see the money I was working for being paid a good salary but I couldn't prosper when the time came that I failed to put bread on the table. My friend Totty Brobyn advised me to contact Dr Azuka +2349166175418 for a special prayer of cleansing. Dr Azuka advised me that I must do a cleansing prayer to take away all the bad luck and genealogical curse which were following me, we did the prayer online since I was far from him. It took me three days to realize changes in my life. I was promoted at work, my boyfriend also came back to me and proposed to me we have been together for two years now and things are fine. We are preparing for our wedding this December. I know that prayers work and I strongly believe the prayers of dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com helped me to regain my happiness thanks, Dr Azuka.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.
