How To Get Pregnant While Suffering From High Prolactin Level?

Have been trying to be pregnant for a year now, at 6months of that yr, i did hormonal profile to know the problem. It was discovered that i have elevated PROLACTIN 39. Some drugs were administered to me which include PALODEL TAB, folic acid, vit c etc for 4 months again, yet no result. i went for hormonal test again, at this time the PROLACTIN IS 36 and FOLLICLES STIMULATIN HORMONE 21. what should i do or take to bring down this figures so that i can be pregnant on time? thx.

Hi

It seems you are suffering from high prolactin levels and your doctor has prescribes Parodel for the same. Firstly not all patients respond to the same dose of the drug. In my practise I initially prescribe the lowest dose ,check prolactin levels and if they haven't come down I increase the dose.

Secondly your FSH levels are elevated too. You haven't mentioned your age which would have been helpful. To know the reason behind your elevated FSH you should get other hormonal tests like LH, testosterone, estradiol done as well.

Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thanks
