I think the fertility meds perpetuated my BC
Just my own theory. I did lots of it to get pregnant, Clomid, Hormone Injections and 2 in-vitro fertilizations (have a beautiful 4 year old and 2 year old twins from it!) and then Progesterone shots to help sustain pregnancy in the beginning. I am BRCA 2+ so I am sure that is why I have BC, but I feel in my gut that I probably got the BC sooner than I normally would have since I took the meds. My Onc agrees "off-record" that there is a link, as she has seen an increase in women who did fertility meds coming in with BC at an earlier age. My lump appreared within 1 year of my twins being born.
Just my 2 cents. Wouldn't change having my kids for the world, even if it meant getting the BC!
