Background: Nearly 20% of women presenting with breast cancer in the UK are of reproductive age. The aim of our study was to assess fertility outcome in relation to intent to conceive in patients who had completed breast cancer treatment.
Methods: Between July 2011 and December 2013, women, aged less than 43 years at the time of diagnosis, were asked during their follow-up in breast cancer clinic, to complete a questionnaire on intentions to conceive and pregnancy outcome.
Background: It has been proposed that ovarian sickling and/or iron overload in women with sickle cell disease (SCD) could contribute to gonadal dysfunction, but there are very few published studies. We hypothesised that the above phenomena might impair ovarian reserve.
Methods: A total of 50 SCD patients were case-matched by age, ethnicity, and presence of regular cycles (28±5 days) with 73 patients without a known haemoglobinopathy who required anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) assessment in a gynaecology clinic.
