cabergoline ?

[Coco12ha]

Hi I have been told to take cabergoline to lower my prolactin has anyone had any experience on this drug ?

Hi. I take half a tablet once a week, for the same reason, and happily have no issues to report.

I took it for years with no side effects that I can remember.

Are you planning/hoping to get pregnant?

I started taking it at the age of 38 and conceived at ages 41 and 44

@weehoo yah I am how soon did you start trying? X

@Coco12ha not for a couple of years as was single when diagnosed. But pregnant within a few months and then again 3 years later at the age of 44!

@Maze76 @weehoo how soon did youse get your periods back I lost mine due to the high prolactin if youse lost yours aswell when did it come back ?

I think it was pretty quick - had regular blood tests so that they could adjust the dose as necessary. Do you know what your prolactin levels were/are?

Mine were in the thousands then were lowered to the 400-700 area through drugs

Mine was 6000 in December got my meds yesterday so don't know if it lowered I forgot to ask doctors how soon will I get my period back

Do they plan to follow up and check your levels? How old are you?

Was prescribed it after a round of ivf which was cancelled due to hyperstimulation. Take the tablet just before bed if you can. It really messed with my blood pressure.

@weehoo my follow up is in June they said for a blood test

@okokok000 thanks xx
