When Shepard died, she was not actually biologically dead, where the body's cells die. She was only *clinically* dead, as can be said to the VS on Horizon. This only means that the heart and lungs ceased to function. The Collectors captured Shepard in this state of being and put her in stasis before actual cell death could occur. This is the ONLY reason why Cerberus was able to revive her as she was at all.
The cells in her body didn't die, therefore she is still fertile.
Where did you get that information? Because after Shepard asphyxiated, they burned up while re-entering Alchera's atmosphere and collided with a planet with explosive velocity.
Shepard = dead.
If Bioware hadn't gone that far, they wouldn't have so many issues explaining this, now. A coma, or cryo-stasis would have served far better without breaking the laws of the universe.
I got the info from the in-game scene on Horizon where either male or female Shepard can say to the VS (at least if you romanced them, not sure about if you didn't) that he/she "was clinically dead."
I'm not sure how loosely the writers used this term, but in the world of medicine all 'clinically dead' means is that the brain and heart have ceased functioning, but cell death has yet to occur. Now, we don't really have much information about the technical parts of the Lazarus Project, but I'm fairly certain a body can't be brought back to life with memories and knowledge still intact if the brain's cells have died. Even with Reaper technology if that's what Cerberus had to resort to.
This means that once the Normandy went down, the Collector's must have picked up the body and put it in stasis so it would not enter the phase of 'biological death', when cells have died and the only way to bring back Shepard would be as a husk or with cloning. Logically, this means that female Shepard's eggs never died and she could still have a child naturally.
