thinkingtime - Yes. You are given a set of handouts with very specific instructions to avoid pregnancy at all costs while on chemo. Get a pregnancy test and speak urgently to your oncologist.
Flatpaw - Chemo will likely interfere with your periods, and it doesn't mean you are pregnant. Mine completely stopped for many months while under chemo treatment. My doc only warned me after chemo treatment that pregnancy was possible, so be careful. Bleeding came back with a vengeance due to fibroids I didn't know I had, so I had it all ripped out including ovaries per my oncologist b/c I was very estrogen positive. It hurt but was so worth it!
Meg - Yes you can, you need to be very careful. Chemo can stop your periods but don't think that that means that you can't get pregnant, you can. Always wear a condom if you have sex whilst being on a chemotherapy regimen.
Its just really happened while on chemotherapy, to be delayed on monthly period?
