Just wanted to share this video. I really respect Giuliana Rancic for being so forthcoming about her infertility struggle. I had no idea that the drugs I took for IVF can accelerate cancer. I also had no idea that they have been finding an increase in cancers in women who have undergone infertility treatments. (This was something I learned from a doctor in Germany.)
Per a request in the comments, here are some studies indicating the risk of cancer rising with infertility drugs. The link is still being newly researched, and it is important for women to be aware but obviously not convinced at this point.

Do you have any links to the studies that show an increase in cancers in women who have undergone fertility treatments?
As far as I was aware, there were no studies confirming that link.
Saw this relevant article:

It definitely appears that if there is a link, it is remote and not well proven.
