Dr. p: breast cysts and ivf for gs?

Hi dr.p,
Is it safe to have ivf is I have breast cysts? Will the extra hormones make the cysts cancerous?

Thanks

Just FYI- I got an automated notice that Dr P is out of the office until Thursday. You could post in the other Expert forum for Dr H. to answer!

The hormones and other drugs used in IVF do not cause breast cancer and will not cause benign cysts to become cancerous. I hope that this helps.
