Pregnant after IF

First OB Appt - Lump in Breast Found ***UPDATED***

edited November 2013 in Pregnant after IF
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. :)

  • No experience but just wanted to say I'm praying everything turns out ok!! Please keep us posted.

  • It could be nothing. My dr sent me for ultrasound and mammogram when I was 21 after feeling a lump, which turned out to be fine, probably just cystic. Better to get it checked out, but try not to worry too much, it may be nothing :)

    Finally Pregnant after IVF

  • From WebMD: "Breast tissue changes during a woman's entire life. It is particularly sensitive to changing estrogen and progesterone hormone levels during the menstrual cycle."

    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!

  • Congrats on the heartbeat! I'm sorry about the worry, though. I found a lump years back in my early 20s that was very sore for about a week. Turns out it was nothing, just a result of what others have posted about breast tissue changes due to hormones. I'm praying for you that it's nothing!

  • Lurking here, but I wanted to give you a little support!

    I have biannual breast exams, breast MRIs and mammograms because my mother died young from breast cancer.

    I have had lots of lumps and bumps found on exam and they were almost always able to diagnose them as cysts on ultrasound. I hope this is the case for you! Best of luck and congrats!!!
