I have one son, when he was 9 months we started trying for No 2, 2 yrs later we still have had no luck, i had a routine blood test last year as i had a 73 day cycle and we wanted to check that i wasnt pregnant, a year went by and my cuycles were still getting longer so doctor suggested another routine bloods to check hormone levels.
This time my Prolactin levels were sky high on which the doctor dropped bomb shell that i probably have a pituitary tumour a Prolactinoma, the blood test would only be that high if i was pregnant which i wasn't, or if there is a pituitary problem.
I am now on bromocriptine tablets twice daily, after seeing my consultant and i have an MRI scan on my brain on the 13th of May to see if there is any thing there.
I have been told that once on meds my fertility should start to return to normal, and will have a blood test soon to see if my prolactin levels are coming down.
Its all a bit
