A member asked:
I hadbreast cancer, thinking removing my ovaries-cancer was hormone responsive.b4 chemo had ivf&embryos frozen.can i still carry baby without ovaries?

Yes: It would be a frozen embryo transfer. You would require a limited amounts of hormones prior to pregnancy but as long as your uterus is present that is fine. But i would speak to your fertility specialist about your frozen embryos before proceeding.
