Fibroadenomas and IVF

Hi everyone 🤍 I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind.

I have multiple fibroadenomas, and one was biopsied in the past and confirmed benign. I had never taken birth control before this year, but since starting hormonal treatments and going through three egg retrievals, I feel like they’ve become slightly larger and more tender.

I haven’t done my annual breast imaging because I’ve been continuously on hormones and worried the results might look altered.

The lumps are still mobile and in the same spots, but they feel more noticeable now, and it’s been making me anxious.

Has anyone experienced something similar while on fertility hormones or birth control? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences 🤍
