We're not pulling the goalie completely yet (yay condoms!), but at least I'm off the hormones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-564994 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:11:22 +0000 MrsH 564994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it. I have a similar issue that I need to keep monitored and so long as you get regular checks I say go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-563976 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:20:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 563976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lump while we were TTC that was most likely from coming off BCP. Lots of things can cause them. If your doc says go ahead, I'd listen! I got my BFP maybe 4 months after the lump and have had no problems. I still see a breast specialist every 3 months so she can keep an eye on it. Actually once I got pregnant, the lump disappeared - how weird is that? Definitely something hormonal going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-563971 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:18:39 +0000 Bao 563971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if she gave you the go ahead to get off BC then you are ok to TTC </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-563966 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:17:38 +0000 blackbird 563966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple things can cause lumps...caffeine and birth control! If your doctor isn't concerned, I would not be concerned! Happy TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-563926 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:04:57 +0000 autumn865 563926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for it! If your doctor isn't worried neither should you :)</p> <p>About six years ago I found a lump in my right breast. I had several ultrasounds and a mamagram not really showing anything. I was being followed by a breast surgeon and she recommended a lumpectomy. I had the surgery and it was benign and fiber static. Since then I have found another lump that is nothing and I see a breast surgeon I trust. All in all I am healthy. I suppose I just have lumpy breasts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-563908 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:57:11 +0000 Mrs.Ham 563908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts! We decided last night that I am going to quit the pill. We aren't going to actively TTC yet, but its a step in the right direction! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562241 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:23:47 +0000 Happygal 562241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about the lump if she isn't worried. </p> <p>I have worried myself, however, about getting a mammogram while TTC. I was up for one because of a previous lump found in my breast (I had a biopsy as well), but it was around the time I was set to ovulate. I've read varying medical stances on whether or not you should have one while TTC, so that is something to discuss with your healthcare provider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562233 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:19:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 562233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you aren't completely comfortable with your Oncologist's opinion/recommendation, you can always seek a second (and a third) opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562226 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:15:08 +0000 Adira 562226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree - if your oncologist isn't concerned, go for it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562225 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:14:44 +0000 mrsmenow 562225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have they ever biopsied it?</p> <p>If she isn't concerned I would go ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562217 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:11:12 +0000 Alivoo01 562217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since your oncologist doesn't seem concerned by it, then I'd proceed. Plus, she mentioned you stop taking your birth control pills might help reduce it! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562211 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:09:17 +0000 Mrs.Ham 562211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: that actually makes me feel a lot better...thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562209 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:08:51 +0000 Mrs.Ham 562209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: she seemed like she wasn't worried, so I think it's just all in my head! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562204 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:07:21 +0000 Mrs.Someone 562204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many years ago I had a lump removed that was benign. Its relatively common for women to have random lumps that come and go and aren't really anything. So if your doctor didn't see anything and says its OK, I don't see any reason why not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562201 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:06:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 562201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you considered asking your oncologist what she thinks?</p> <p>If she'd not worried about it and thinks it's a good idea then personally, I'd go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe#post-562200 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:04:24 +0000 Mrs.Ham 562200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband I are both in agreement that we want to start TTC sooner rather than later. I am not sure if we should go ahed, though. About a year ago I found a lump in my breast. I have had a mammogram and two ultrasounds, with nothing showing up. I have been seeing an oncologist, and she thinks it is nothing, butnwouldnstill like to see me every 6 months to keep an eye on it.<br /> She just gave me the green light to stop taking birth control, even saying that it might make the nodule disappear.<br /> Here's the question...should I be worried about the lump, or should we just start trying to make a baby and hope it really is nothing? </p>
