concern of meds

melrse · 05-27-2005, 03:36 PM

I am new to the forum. I was very happy to find a place to talk with others going though ivf with donor eggs. Last year during my first mammogram they found calcifications. It turned out to be nothing but I wondered about the estrace. I was wondering about how others feel on this.
Thanks,
Melissa

I don't think there is any proof that fertility drugs cause problems or there is even a correlation. I've done IVF 8 times and I am not concerned. Of course I get an annual PAP, CA 125, physical, and a mammogram.

I've used Estrogen for all 4 cycles & as of now, haven't had any problems. So, no, I'm not worried about it. If you're concerned, ask your RE if he/she can help to ease your fears!
