Breast Cancer & Infertility (full IVF treatment)
I have breast cancer and chemotherapy & other treatments may leave me infertile so we opted to first undergo fertility preservation via IVF. This is our fertility story. Thank you to Betterhelp for sponsoring this video. Get 10% off your first month https://www.betterhelp.com/eamonandbec
On December 21, 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 31 years old. To add to the news my doctor said that chemotherapy and other hormonal treatments have a high chance of sending me into early menopause and therefore lessen our chances of conceiving naturally. We haven't talked too much about our child plan with all of you but having kids has always been something we have wanted. So, my team of doctors gave us the option to undergo 1 round of IVF to hopefully freeze embryos to implant in the future (once I am cancer free) & preserve our chances of bringing a biological baby into this world.
We are grateful for this chance.
While undergoing treatment we realized just how many couples are also going through this journey for a variety of reasons. We hope that watching us go from confused, afraid and overwhelmed to learning how to take the daily injections all the way to a successful egg retrieval and embryo freezing may make you feel a little less alone ❤️❤️❤️.
