Question

My wife's prolactin level is 140 and we have an MRI scan showing a microadenoma in the pituitary gland. The doctor recommended cabergoline to control prolactin but I'm worried is this tumor serious and should we consider surgery? What are our next steps?

Question

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?

Question

I've had a 3rd day embryo transfer on August 26, and now I'm having quite a bit of stomach and back pain. Is this normal? Can I do a UPT tomorrow to check for pregnancy? I'm really anxious to know what's going on.
