*does the math*

All the doctors I work with say people in a new or non-exclusive shouldn’t have sex without condoms until at least six months to a year into a monogamous relationship, even if both partners already have their papers saying they do not have any STDs or HIV.

Well, in any case, congratulations to Lance and Anna, and it is true this “surprise pregnancy” (really, there is no way to explain this considering Lance was diagnosed as shooting blanks after his cancer treatment) will offer some hope to men facing testicular cancer, but to be safe, they should continue banking sperm before undergoing treatments.

Tracy- I also once knew of a couple with a similar situation. The husband had testicular cancer and survived it, just like your friend. However, in his case, his doctors didn’t think he’d end up being sterile. They did, however, tell him and his wife that he would be infertile temporarily while his body recovered. So the wife went off the Pill…and a month later, BAM! Pregnant! Just like with your friend and his wife, this pregnancy also came at the very beginning of this couple’s marriage, and they were very surprised by it, to say the very least!

Happily, the husband, just like the doctors predicted, didn’t end up sterile. The couple’s second and third children are proof of that!
