I have been so frustrated with this whole process. My prolactin is down to 18 at its lowest and I am still not ovulating. I have tried two rounds of Clomid with nothing. I try and research how low and for how long prolactin levels go before but the research is not very specific. I also want to know what other fertility treatments work for this condition. I thought we could start a thread here for info of our own. So answer the following:
1. What were your highest prolactin levels? 2. What medication are you treating it with, dosage and length of time on it? 3. When did your AF return? Did you have normal cycles after that? 4. Were you diagnosed with any other conditions? 5. Did you undergo any other fertility treatments? 6. How long did it take you to get pregnant? Posted on 07/02/09, 10:07 am |
