Common Types of Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer 

Changes in menstruation and fertility

If you have a menstrual cycle [3], chemotherapy may cause changes in it. After completing chemotherapy, some people begin menopause. This becomes more common the closer you are to menopause, which typically starts around the age of 51.

After treatment is over, periods may resume, but this is frequently based on your age and the type of chemotherapy drugs that were administered. Younger people typically have a higher chance of getting their period back and having fertile eggs produced.

If you hope to become pregnant after chemotherapy, discuss it with your doctor. They can assist in creating a treatment strategy that has minimal impact on your fertility.
