Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer are at risk of therapy-induced infertility. The importance of initial and specialized fertility counselling to this patient group is undisputed. Despite international guidelines, oncofertility counselling is still inadequate. The purpose of this study was to examine how female AYA cancer patients and survivors experi-enced initial and specialized oncofertility counselling, and to present their specific suggestions on how to improve the oncofertility counselling. Methods: Twelve individual semi‐structured interviews were performed with AYAs aged 20–35 with cancer or who were survivors. Participants were recruited via a youth support centre and social organization for AYAs with cancer. Data was ana-lysed using thematic analysis. Results: Three main themes were found: Support is needed for navi-gating the fertility information jungle; The doctor’s approach determines the content of the patient consultation; Inadequate and worrying information causes mistrust and frustration. Conclusion: Results indicate a continuing problem regarding insufficient oncofertility counselling to AYAs with cancer. To ensure adequate and uniform information, especially in the initial oncofertility counsel-ling, national guidelines for oncology specialists are suggested including multidisciplinary effort and collaboration between oncology and fertility specialists in mind. In addition, participants suggest focus on communication skills.
