Baseline CA125 test?

My friend's wife had a recent bout with ovarian cancer. He thought that the fertility treatments his wife received throughout her late 30s and early 40s might have contributed to the cancer.

For those who have been reading this blog, as a result from the egg retrieval, Amanda had fairly severe hyperstimulation. She's also undergone laparoscopies for endometriosis and has taken the pill briefly as well as prescriptions for clomid and glucophage as part of her fertility treatments.

My friend's advice to me was that we should consider having a baseline CA125 test done to measure the protein levels in Amanda's blood. That way, if this is a concern in the future, we would have something to measure against.

We asked our doctor about it, but didn't get a clear answer. It might be best to table the question until after the baby's birth.
