Bromocriptine FAQ

PCOS and pregnancyhelp!!!!!?

Before I got pregnant in feb I was getting tested for a possible pituitory tumor, as I missed on menstrul cycle and my prolactin levels were an 85 when most women should be at 1 14, I went for the MRI and there was no tumor on my pituitiry gland, the endrocrinologist then put me on bromocriptine which I was on until JAN then I ran out and a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant with baby # 1 (I am 15 weeks pregnant right now) , I had another appointment with my endrocrinologist a few weeks ago and she told me that she is going to monitor me (which I am feeling great) and would like me to go for another MRI after I deliver. I was on the internet today researching as for a couple years now I have started to develop hair around my nipples, stomach and toes, which I am very embarrased and disgusted about and a whole bunch of sites showed me that this could be pcos, well now I am scared as if this is PCOS I do not want to put my unborn child at risk and want to carry full term and is PCOS cancerous??? I have went for 2 pap tests and both are normal...... could I maybe get them to check when I go for my next ultrasound on June 3rd? is this common??

My father is taking Bromocrptine (12.5 mg/day) since 2004. Now his Prolactine level is normal.

i started to have sore breast on the 3rd day of my period. period had stop but i still have sore breast. it is because of bromocriptine that i'm taking?

My b/f and I are trying to conceive and last month I got my period for a day only it wasn't heavy or anything and a few days later I took a pregnancy test which came back negative. I had a dr's appointment 2 weeks ago but I had to cancel it thought I would wait it out for this month well this month already I am 5 days late. I am going to book a dr's appointment today but I am just scared that they are going to tell me that I am not pregnant then I am going to be scared and I always think they worst I will think I have ovarian cancer or something... and I have had hormone problems in the past with high prolactin levels but my endrocrinologsit took me off the bromocriptine in feb and said my levels were back to normal ... I do have some symptoms tho such as .... Cramping ( for the past 2 weeks) Sore nipples (which I never got this even when I was having my period) Really tired lately (But I do work 2 jobs) But If I were pregnant wouldn't my tummy be getting a little bigger or harder?? Also I used to chart my temp with BBT, and it was usually 35.5 ish and this morning I thought I would try it again and it was closer to 38.And this wouldn't be my ovulation time.

My doc has prescribed me this besides Clomid and Metformin. But I guess its to much of a medicine load on an under-weight me. I am on CD11, and haven't take this med. Though taking Metformin daily. Please help me understand as how does it help in conceiving... and whether its too late to take the med now?
