    I'm 37 years old, had my first mammogram 6 months ago, and a follow up last week due to calcifications. My doctor called me and told me that they wanted to do a biopsy because they couldn't be certain the calcifications were benign..  There is no history of breast cancer in my family, and I don't seem to carry any of the high risk traits, although know that this doesn't mean that I can't be the first. I'm getting married this fall, and my fiance and I are eager to start a family.. I am terrified that this is going to affect my fertility. I'm terrified period! I know they say that most calcifications are benign, but am looking for some support I guess, with women who have gone through this. My consult is on Monday and then they will schedule the biopsy. I'm not sure if this matters, but the words the radiologists (there was more than one that looked at my films) used were: cannot be 100% certain calcifications are benign

    thank you all
