This may explain why so many younger women are being dx.

me too deanna. i have always wondered if clomid was the kick starter for me. docs always said no since i was not er+. I took 3 months of clomid with no luck. i needed the chemo to make me fertile. odd but true.

I did several cycles of clomid and about 4 IVF cycles, miscarried twice. I did progesterone injections with both pregnancies. I miscarried in August of 2010 and was Dx in October of 2010. I always wonder if that IVF cycle and the progesterone injections pumped up my tumor, a tumor that wasnt detected in September of 2009...

I went through three months of hormone shots and two artificial inseminations when I was 38 but did not result in pregnancy. Instead I got three uterine fibroids. Then I was prescribed birth control pill to curb the growth of the fibroids. Five years after the initial treatment I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The first thing my gynecologist told me (after I'd called and told him about the bc diagnosis) was to quit taking the birth control pills.
