How Cancer Treatment Can Affect Fertility
Understanding Fertility After Treatment
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and certain surgical procedures may affect fertility or the ability to safely carry a pregnancy.

Medical Guidance
Medical Recommendations to Avoid Pregnancy
In some situations, physicians may advise against carrying a pregnancy.
A Path Forward
While these effects can make natural pregnancy difficult or impossible, modern reproductive medicine provides alternative pathways to parenthood.
Surrogacy as a Path to Parenthood
When Carrying a Pregnancy Is Not Possible
Surrogacy may be recommended when pregnancy could pose health risks or is medically impossible.
Through gestational surrogacy, embryos created through IVF are transferred to a surrogate who carries the pregnancy.
Because the surrogate does not contribute genetic material, the intended parent remains the biological parent when their own eggs or sperm are used.
Using Frozen Eggs or Embryos
Fertility Preservation Before Treatment
Many cancer patients now preserve their fertility before starting treatment through egg or embryo freezing.
Frozen embryos can create a future pathway to parenthood after recovery.
If embryos were frozen before treatment, they can later be used to create a pregnancy through surrogacy.
01
Embryo Process
Thawing Preserved Embryos
Previously frozen embryos are carefully prepared for the next stage of treatment.
02
Transfer Preparation
Preparing the Surrogate for Transfer
The surrogate’s cycle is coordinated so the embryo transfer can be medically timed and supported.
03
Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy Monitoring After Implantation
Once implantation occurs, the pregnancy is followed with careful medical monitoring.
This approach allows patients to move forward with parenthood after recovery.
Embryo Creation Through IVF
Fertility Medicine Supporting Survivors
Embryos are created through in vitro fertilization (IVF), using a carefully coordinated medical process designed to support intended parents on their path to surrogacy.
01
Starting Point
Egg Retrieval
Eggs may be retrieved from the intended parent or from a donor, depending on the pathway being used.
02
Laboratory Stage
Fertilization
Eggs are fertilized in the laboratory as part of the IVF process under specialist supervision.
03
Development Phase
Embryo Development
Embryos are monitored as they develop, helping physicians determine the next medical steps.
04
Optional Step
Genetic Screening
When appropriate, optional genetic screening may be used as part of embryo planning.
Next Stage
Embryo Transfer to the Surrogate
Once embryos are created, they are transferred to the surrogate who will carry the pregnancy.
The Pregnancy Journey
Sharing the Experience
After a successful embryo transfer, the pregnancy journey begins.
Even when intended parents live far away, modern technology allows them to stay connected.
