Dostinex when trying to conceive?

I was diagnosed with a .5mm prolactinoma 2 months ago. My doctor initially put me on the bromo because I'm trying to conceive. I ended up having terrible side effects so she's taken me off and told me my only other option is Dostinex although its not deemed entirely safe on pregnant women. Has anyone had experience taking Dostinex when they were trying to get pregnant?

Yes,I was on the dostinex when I was trying to conceive. I was taken off at 7 weeks by my geno. Had a number of problems from the tumor. Went back on at 20 weeks. In my case I should have stayed on the dostinex the whole time. Would have been much safer for me and the baby's. (I had twins) this was 10 years ago.

I have read some studies that say that they found no evidence of children born to mothers who took Dostinex to have any more birth defects than mothers who weren't on it. I think that every study could have its flaws but since Bromo has been studies longer in pregnant women it might be a tad bit safer.
