Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Sex should be started after at least a month from the surgery for tubectomy. Unfortunately due to having sex too early there is a pregnancy. There is a significant chance of having an abnormal fetus because she is taking chemotherapy.

Please consult the oncologist and make them aware of the situation. Since there might have been adverse effects on the growing fetus, it is better to consult a gynecologist and take a collective decision on the future of the pregnancy. Chemotherapy medicine is strong any might have affected the fetus in the early weeks of pregnancy. Continuing chemotherapy might be more important in her case. Please do not worry.
