Hi girls.. I took clomid for 2mts.. consultant wasn't happy with my blood results so he changed me to letrozole. I had only taken this for 2mts as well B4 he confirmed medication wasn't working and I needed further surgery for my Endo B4 going for donor egg ivf.
Over the last few wks I have noticed a lump on the top of my right breast. My GP says my Peck mussell has simply come loose!! I didn't really buy that n asked a chiropractor what he taught...he was very concerned n said to go back to gp n get a 2nd opinion but that as far as he was aware clomid/letrozole/strong hormone medication could well cause lumps to appear in breast tissue.
It has definitely increased in side over the last 2wks and thats after I have stopped taken letrozole. I am currently taken 200mg of progesterone for 2wks each month ..maybe it's that ..or maybe it's just another dam health issues sent to drive me insane! As if I didn't have my fair share!!
Just wondering if anyone has had similar experience..and if so did the lump go after a few mts off letrozole?? I am waiting on another gp appointment just to b safe!

I found a lump in my breast a few years back, but I hadn't yet taken any fertility medications.
I went to a walk-in clinic (it was a Saturday), and the doctor there told me that, as it appeared all of a sudden, it was unlikely to be anything dangerous. She recommended a referral to a breast clinic, though.
My GP told me it was an abscess, gave me antibiotics, and didn't refer me to any specialists. The antibiotics didn't work, but he still failed to refer me. I had already booked a trip to my home country in a few days, where I had a scan at a private lab: it wasn't an abscess, it was a cyst. I had it drained, and since then I'm totally fine.
I have to add, the stimulation for my first round generated a cyst on my right ovary. So, maybe what you're feeling is a cyst, that just needs draining. Ask your GP for a referral to a breast centre, or have an ultrasound scan. Good luck!
Ive had a lump in my breast both times I’ve used buserilin in preparation for ivf. The first time got this checked at the GP and although they felt it was related to the meds, sent me on an urgent referral to the hospital had a scan a week later and was told it was a cyst and all was fine. I also have endo and cysts on my ovaries - think I’m prone to cysts as I’m taking buserilin again and have a lump in the same place which is painful to touch. Hoping it will go down again soon. Best to get yours checked out for piece of mind, good luck xxxx
Managed to get appointment late this afternoon. GP is referring me to breast clinic asap to b on safe side..but he feels it maybe an inflamed mussle and says not to worry... Feels it's more on my Peck mussle than my breast! Fingers crossed!! That's for ur replied girls
