TTC After High Prolactin Levels
Hi girlies 🤍
I just wanted to see if anyone has been in a similar situation to me.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 1.5 years. I'm in London and, after going through the NHS fertility pathway, they discovered that my prolactin levels were extremely high around **2594miu/L**.
I was referred to an endocrinologist, had an MRI, and they found a very tiny pituitary lump (too small to even measure). I was started on cabergoline 0.25 mg once a week, and thankfully it has worked really well. My prolactin has come down from around 2,000 to 79, and it's now in the 50s.
I've also had an HSG, which showed both of my tubes are open, and this cycle my day 21 progesterone blood test confirmed that I ovulated.
My fertility doctor has advised me to keep trying naturally for another six months before considering any further treatment. So far, we've had two unsuccessful cycles since my prolactin returned to normal, and I'm currently in my third cycle.
I know it can still take time, but it's hard not to overthink everything. I don't really have any pregnancy symptoms this cycle either.
Cycle Day 3
✅ FSH: 5.3
✅ LH: 7.9
✅ Progesterone: <2

✅ Testosterone: 1.8
✅ SHBG: 50

✅ TSH - **1.75 miu/L**
✅testosterone - **2.0 nmol/L**
✅ no PCOS after ultrasound but as diagnosed with it when I was 14
Day 21
✅ **Progesterone (22/05/26): <2 45 nmol/L**
Has anyone else conceived after getting their prolactin under control with cabergoline? If so, how long did it take after your prolactin normalized? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences it would honestly give me some hope. 🤍
