I'm trying to understand my recent Total BhCG quantitative report after our first IUI attempt. It says 1.2 mIUmL, and I'm a bit confused about what this means. We've been trying to conceive naturally for four years now, so this is all quite new to me. Could you help explain what these results indicate?

I'm really concerned because my blood test showed my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level is at 22.64 IUml, while the reference range is 0.30 to 5.5. Is this something I should be worried about? What exactly does TSH do, and why would my levels be so high?

Question

I'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?
