High Prolactin Levels and trying to conceive.

Hello. I was told by my doctor that I have high prolactin levels. The reason I found out was because I was getting a milky discharge from my nipples. I was sent for blood work & a MRI. My blood levels showed I was at 65 or so when I should be under 30. Well my MRI came back ok, no tumor there. I was prescribed Bromocriptine and take half a pill everynight before bed. I have noticed I have very small amount of nipple discharge compared to before. So I know the pills are working. I had irregular periods with 1 week or more of spotting prior to my period. Will this change with the pill as well? Because of that I am having difficulty pinpointing ovulation. I have been on the pills for a little over a month. I am wondering how soon can I expect my periods to get normal? And also how soon can I expect to conceive? In other words how quick is there a chance?

about the bromocriptine, these are all doctor questions, but everybody's body is different. it may take 3 or 4 months for someone on bromocriptine to regain a normal period and it may take another person 6 to 9 months. but, of course, the way i understand it, it is best to give the medicine time to work to get your cycle on right tract first before you even try to get pregnant. keep in touch with the doctor to let him or her know when you think you are ready then they will probably do some blood test to check you out before you try to get pregnant. i guess the best thing is to be patient and keep the doctor informed about what is going on with you. i wish you good luck and blessing.
