Conception after chemotherapy: post-chemotherapy method of conception and pregnancy outcomes in breast cancer patients.

In breast cancer patients with return of ovarian function after chemotherapy, half were able to conceive by intercourse alone. In order to maximize reproductive potential in patients who have return of ovarian function, providers should offer natural conception as a reasonable option prior to the use of cryopreserved tissue. For those who did not attempt to conceive on their own, the use of pre-treatment cryopreserved eggs or embryos had a high likelihood of success.
