First OB Appt - Lump in Breast Found ***UPDATED***
cinnamonrollcupcake
member
I just had my first OB appointment today and everything went well, we were even able to hear our baby's hearbeat, except then a lump in my breast was found. The doctor ordered an ultrasound. I am now freaking out and thinking the absolute worse! Ultrasound will hopefully be sometime this next week, the sooner the better so that I don't go crazy with all the bad thoughts in my head right now. I've never had a lump before. Is it common to develop them during pregnancy? I am so worried.
***UPDATE***
I had my ultrasound today and everything looks normal! They said that the lump is just fibrous tissue and that it could be because of hormonal changes (i.e. pregnancy, IVF). So they had no concerns and there are no next steps, except of course to continue self exams (this was a good reminder to me of how important self exams are). I am so relieved that everything is okay! Thank you all for your kind words and support - they meant a lot.

Finally Pregnant after IVF
So I wouldn't be surprised if all the hormones you've taken for IVF can affect what's going on in your breasts. I can only imagine how scary this is for you, but often these things are harmless. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best. Please keep us updated!
