My husband went through a BMT 10 years ago. We were told that we would not have any more children. God still does miracles - We have since had 2 more precious baby boys - the natural way! one 3 years after transplant and one 9 years after transplant!
I wish you good luck but hope you realize the chances of your husband having a viable sperm count after large doses of chemothearpy before the transplant, are very slim at best.
My son had a stem cell transplant (sister donor) and suffered several years from GVHD. His immune system has been severly compromised and he's completely sterile.
So, in the case of having a baby the "normal way" consider yourself lucky to be having your own children any way you can get them.
Hi.
Is your husband on any medications now?
There is a risk of sterility in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant.
The drugs used may have a side effect of decreasing the sperm count or motility.
It would be best to consult your physician for a thorough discussion on this.
Good luck.
