Hello, Madam.
I understand your concern.
Breast tenderness is a major side effect of cabergoline.
It can also result in heavy and painful bleeding periods(menstrual cycles).
Cabergoline Pregnancy Warnings:
Cabergoline has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA which implies the following------
Animal studies have revealed evidence of maternal toxicity (including an increased occurrence of various malformations), an increase embryo-fetal losses, and inhibition of growth and death of offspring secondary to decreased milk secretion. There are NO controlled data in human pregnancy.
The drug should only be given during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.
Hence based on above data, it is always safe to avoid conception while on Cabergoline.
Yes, it is important that you get another blood test -Thyroid profile and Serum prolactin levels to assess the response to treatment.
