TX and fertility

[cieritaqt]

I know that it is imortant to make sure not to get pregnant during TX, and even 6 months to a year later. I will be 30 in January. I start Ribi, Interfuron, and then Boceprevir on 9/16. My question is this, when I am about 31 or 32 and my TX is finished, can the medication cause long term effects on fertility rates? I hope to have a baby between 32 & 35. I have never had a pregnancy scare, and I feel that I may not be very fertile. I know I have tons of questions, thanks for all your support you guys and gals!!! <3

Honestly, I am a little worried. I have actually donated an egg beofre 11 years ago. As I said, I am 29, so I have time to start a family later on. however, I have never been pregnant, and I am not on birth controll. My boyfriend and I have been topgether for 3 years, and he is very supportive. I know I need to be extremely careful not to get pregnant now. Maybe I can ask my doctor about freezing eggs, not sure if insurance will cover that though.

I don't think there have been any studies on if tx effects fertility rates.  I do know that interferon inhibits estrogen production and that your periods can get a little messed up during tx. When do you start tx? If you are really worried you could get some eggs frozen if there is enough time.
