What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy With Aplastic Anemia?

My daughter was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia at age 18 and was treated with ATG horse and Cyclosporine and Neupogan.....1 year later was treated with ATG rabbit and 3 years later has remained in remission with continuing to take Cyclosporine 200mg/day and Neupogan 300mcg once/week. Latest blood levels were WBC of 3.8, HGB of 12.8, and Platelets of 118 which were 2 weeks ago. She is now 24, just finished her BSN in nursing and was engaged. She really wants to be able to have a baby......is this a possibility for her or would it be considered too risky?
