Yes: Any chemotherapy, bep (bleomycin, Etoposide and platinum) inclusive, can cause infertility by destroying the ovaries. Most ovaries will stop functioning either temporarily or permanently during chemotherapy. Some data has suggested that a shot of Lupron (leuprolide) during chemo can protect the ovaries but the data is not conclusive about lupron (leuprolide).
