Kids after transplant?

So we were told it was unlikely that my husband would be fertile after transplant but w him being male and young a small chance was still possible..
Anyone able to have children after transplant?
We do not have any children currently

I'm surprised given the chemo Ronald would have had and his young age, that the hospital didn't suggest he donate some sperm to be frozen before he commenced treatment. Hope it works out for you guys!

Cheryl thank you yes he actually did have one chance to freeze. Honestly though I think (given lab results) that the ATG and other treatments and maybe just his body trying to stay strong or maybe all three (and maybe some unknown factor nothing to do w treatment or dx) had weaked what little was frozen. But they are still frozen so there is still a chance!! And that's awesome w that said I am at a point in my life that if not that's ok to. Because we have a lot of other things to fill us w happiness.
So either way.
I talked to a man who was able to father a child a couple years after transplant and have heard of two others. Wondering if anyone eles has?
