Hi
This may sound a silly question but do the drugs used in IVF treatments alter your FSH (making it higher) permanantly or bring on an early menopause?
I'm also worried about the risk of ovarian cancer or because of the high oestrogen levels, the increased risk of breast cancer. I spoke to my GP who said that I was unable to have a mamogram prior to commencing treatment because the tissue density if you're under 40 is to high to do a proper test. Do you know of any tests to check ovarian/breast cancer prior/post treatment please?
And why does some down regs cause ovarian cysts please - I have been prescribed prostrap rather than daily injections - is there a reason for this and does this medication cause cysts. I'm very worried about taking all this medication!
regards
Patricia
