This subject seems to be coming up every now and then, noticed two links in the FB vasculitis group so figured I'd share
Pregnancy in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis: report of five cases in three women (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1752998/)
Pregnancy should be planned after complete disappearance of disease activity. In the case of a relapse a combination of immunosuppressive drugs and corticosteroids should be chosen rather than corticosteroids alone because the outcome of pregnancy is poor in cases of undertreatment.
Woman warned she would be infertile after chemotherapy for rare disease gives birth to baby girl | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2546590/Woman-warned-infertile-chemotherapy-rare-disease-gives-birth-baby-girl.html)
'Doctors told me chemotherapy would leave me infertile... but now I've got a baby girl': Joy for woman who feared treatment for rare disease would stop her becoming a mother
This third one is from 1995, so perhaps not too relevant since of course there have been advances in treatments in the last 20 years:
