I have been taking Femara for 2 3/4 years after completing my chemo and radiation therapys. I just spotted after a few years of nothing.
Chemo caused premature menopause. Wondering if I could still get pregnant?

I agree with the above poster - it's unlikely you're experiencing early menopause. Though chemotherapy can affect the health of your eggs, and in rare cases can cause early menopause, I'd go to your OBGYN and ask for a blood test to determine whether you're experiencing early menopause.
Just FYI (source: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Menopause_premature_early_menopause)
"Symptoms
The symptoms of early menopause are the same as for menopause at any age and can include:
-Menstrual cycle changes, including changes to the usual bleeding pattern
-Hot flushes
-Sweats
-Urinary problems, such as incontinence or increased frequency of urination
-Dry vagina
-Mood changes
-Weight changes
-Aches and pains.
