Welcome, River! I just wanted to let you know that there is a woman named Stepanie Spielman (wife of football player Chris Spielman) here in Ohio who got pregnant while on Herceptin (inadvertantly) but her daughter turned out totally fine (they named her Audrey, which is why I remember this so well) and she (the mom) is doing well now, too. Not that I recommend getting pregnant while on Herceptin, but just so you know it has been done before with a good outcome. You can check out Stephanie's story on her website, which I can't remember the name of, but try googling her or her husband.
