and also have 2 year old twins. I am BRCA 2+ so I was pre-disposed, but I think the fertility drugs brought it on sooner than maybe it would have come. On my first IVF I argued with the OB to lower my meds because I was going to overstimulate and he only brought me down a bit, to which I totally overstimulated and my Estrogen levels were sky high! I think all that Estrogen and Progresterone floating around were not good, but as someone else said, my twins are amazing and I would not have done it any other way, just would have been much more on top of things when I felt the lump!
