Anyone here have focal nodular hyperplasia?

I was diagnosed with focal nodular hyperplasia, a benign tumor of the liver, a few years ago and they've been monitoring its size and it's not big enough where it warrants surgery. However, it causes me a lot of worry. I'm about to undergo fertility treatments, and my liver specialist has told me he does not think it will affect the nodule but that they will monitor it with ultrasounds every few months. I get pain in my right upper quadrant, have for about 5 years now, but it's not constant and I don't need pain meds for it. I just wondered if anyone has ever been pregnant while they had one of these or if anyone out there knows how long it takes one to grow if it does become affected by hormones. Thank you.
