Brief Answer:
Movable lumps are benign.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Greetings...

IVF hormones will not produce LUMPS in breast. And movable lumps will not cause pain nor will be cancerous.

It may be fibroadenoma or cyst.

I suggest you to consult a surgeon.

Hope my answers help you.

Regards,
Dr. B. Radhakrishnan. Nair, OBGYN
