hey ok so next month i should talk to my RE because they are saying that they want me to do the injections next cycle..u think maybe i should try clomid again for the next 2 months?? i still have a refill..do u think it will be safe? well i just started the dostinex..so 2 months wil be like the end of october.. so u really think that this could be the only reason why im not getting pre.? my number was 44 and than 2 days later 42 im going in friday nite for my MRI to rule out the tumor i got my fingers crossed that hopefully it will be ok! Thank you so much for takin the time to answer me if you dont mind if its ok with you i would like to write you every now and than about my progress since ur my only buddy :)  you have really helped me calm down!! Thanx again and have a great labor day weekend!!

one more thing... it may be the only reason your arent' getting pregnant and you may not even need the drugs once your numbers are low enough.  I would use the OPK's while you wait.

I wouldn't wait to ttc but I wouldnt pay money to do the drugs until your number is in the normal range which I think the high normal is 14.  I would just try ttc naturally until the number is good and then use the drugs.  They should stay good in your fridge until then or even longer.  I know it is so hard to wait but it's worth not flushing money down the drain only to be disappointed.  The likely hood of getting pregnant with elevated levels is slim so really best to wait.  

The reason you aren't getting much response is it really is not that common of an issue.  In fact you are the second person I know who has even had the issue.  The other girl I know who has it also has the pituitary tumor and has yet to have success but she did just adopt a beautiful baby so I believe she is soooo happy that she isn't worring about it yet.    

I hope your numbers drop fast I would give it two months and then ask them to retest your numbers to see if you need to up your dose or lower it.

GOOD LUCK :)
