What do you thinkk about this

I'm really in two minds about it. On one hand, having experienced the wonder of matherhood, I would love for my girls to have the same opportunity one day. On the other, it's a big decision I'd be making for them if I was faced with the situation.
Not sure what the risks are of cancer treatment on fertility but I'm tempted to say I'll do it if the cancer treatments had a great chance of causing infertility. What do you think?

I used to work for Fertility Associates and I saw soooo many girls and women struggling to get pregnant.

Personally, I am all for it. I would hate my daughter to be told later in life she couldn't have kids and not have any options available to her.

I would also be inclinded to do it if I had a son who may be affected by treatments. They can take tissue from them too.

I'd have to say I'd probably do it too, if only to give them the choice. I'd hate for them not to have the choice to have kids or not and to know I could have done something about it.

If I had a girl I would so let them do this. I was almost at that stage when I was in my teen years as they thought the best thing for me was to remove my ovaries as they were causing me so much pain.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!
