Cleve Clin J Med. 2017 Sep;84(9):719-728. doi: 10.3949/ccjm.84a.16116.

Abstract

Women who receive transplants require contraception counseling because of the teratogenicity of immunosuppressant medications and the risks posed by pregnancy after transplant. Fortunately, pregnancy can succeed with careful planning and monitoring.
