How long after treatment for Hodgkin's can you try to get pregnant? I've heard 2 years, 3 years... What is the most recommended by doctors?

I had Hodgkin's in 1998. Finished 6 months treatment (ABVD) and radiotherapy in 1999. I got pregnant in late 2002 with my first son and then had a second (a duaghter) in 2005. I think they said to me that I should wait six months before trying, but I didn't try until 2002. I've got two healthy children and I'm absolutely fine now too! Hope this helps in some way and gives you hope. xxx
