hi, i'm new to this forum and have finally moved from being a spectator to being a contributor.
i am 31 y/o female and was diagnosed with myelofibrosis back in 2010. up until last year, my condition was just slowly deteriorating until june, 2011 when my hb had dramatically dropped 10+ pts (from 97 to 87, or 9.7 ->8.7), which was some cause for concern. we talked about options, and my hematologist confirmed that an unrelated marrow match had been found.
i met with the transplant team and confirmed that the BMT was probably the best option for treatment.

my hb is now at 80 (or, 8.0), and have officially activated the donor as of last week. waiting to hear back on if the donor is willing to donate...if so, i start treatment in march.

i have been advised that my chances of having children after treatment are pretty slim - even with IVF (freezing embryos prior to treatment)...does anyone have any advice/ stories on whether or not they've had a successful pregnancy post-transplant?

thanks!
