BC survivor in medical menopause

Hi, I am 34 & recently finished breast cancer treatment and now I’m on maintenance & targeted therapy 💕✨

Am currently in a medical menopause - having monthly zoladex injection & daily exemestane (which works similarly to tamoxifen for those in the know).

Hoping to connect with other medical menopause/ post chemo mums who have gone on to conceive naturally after coming off the medication. I’m yet to find anyone with this experience.

The hope is that in 2-5 yrs time I can come back out of menopause to conceive but I’m yet to meet anyone who’s done it.

Also - can we talk about how brutal medical menopause is especially as we can’t do anything to make it any easier like HRT. It’s a bit like jumping off a cliff hormonally isn’t it?

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😂💕

MEEEEEEE!!! Had chemo etc and I had 5 years of tamoxifen and zoladex and they told me there was a 60 40 chance of conceiving naturally but may have to wait longer than most. Girl... we started trying in November and it happened straight away... I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant!
