Personally relevant experience?  When I was bfg my second at 2 yrs, I
developed a large lump on one ovary.  After hiding from the doctor who
wanted to open me up to take a look, I found another who did usounds and put
me on the pill for 3 months.  After no change occurred he decided that my
erratically nursing toddler (anywhere from 1-8 per day) had allowed a
follicle to develop but then had increased her nursing and the hormone
increase had halted the follicle in mid-eruption.  Lump is still there and
giving no trouble, 8 years later.
