Hi guys
So at the moment we have been ttc for 9 cycles to no avail and bloods showed I have high prolactin. I do still get a regular af and use of ovulation strips show I do ovulate but we’re not having much luck. DP is all fine and dandy but I’m worried that my prolactin is stopping me from conceiving. DP sister just announced she is expecting twins so I’m feeling pretty low at the moment 😩

The cabergoline or bromocriptine will sort that 100%. It’s the prolactin that causes the unstickyness!! Again glad I could support xx

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to say thanks for sharing your story @SunnyL88. We’ve been trying for two years and my prolactin was 300 before (max they want being 496) and now it’s 590 this month. I’m about to start ivf next month and hoping the levels either aren’t too high or they’ll give me something for them.

Again, old post but would like some advice on TTC and having high prolactin levels. Are the medications long term or short term?

They monitor your levels whilst you’re taking them and then when your levels are “normal” they usually stop the medication and then monitor you again. If they stay low - and they sometimes do - you don’t need to go back on them again. If they rise again you go back on them. When I was trying to conceive they gave me blood tests every few weeks. I have had high prolactin for 20 years and been on and off the cabergoline several times during that time (at its highest it was 4000 plus).
