Thank you for your posts. Since my post mid-July I started taking 10 days of only progestrone (no clomid) once again and did finally get a normal period July 29th that lasted 5 days. I have not had another period since and I feel the one in July only happened due to the progestrone.

When trying to call my Dr. to let her know, I found out she was going to be out of the office for a month so I waited to be able to talk with her again. At end August calling the Dr. again to set an appointment, I now find out she is on medical leave through January. I now have an appt with a new Dr. set in October at a Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility clinic.

In August however, I did get the doc taking over the patients of my previous Dr. to schedule another MRI her in September for me that my original Dr. and I had planned.

That MRI showed no change in the tumor at all and the Dr. recommended that I just keep taking the Parlodel (bromocriptine) as I have been. I have not had another prolactin level blood test yet since the one in June but plan to schedule one. Shouldn't the size of the tumor be decreasing?

I am only taking one 2.5mg tablet of parlodel daily in the evenings. It sounds by a couple posts that you both had the tumor basically disappear before things came back to normal. What dosage of the parlodel where you taking?

I wonder if I need to go back to a higher dosage. I tried taking 2 a day for a few weeks but got such severe headaches that since my prolactin level dropped, the Dr. didn't see a need for me to keep the dosage that high.

I feel like I am kind of at a standstill and look forward to the new Dr. I will be seeing in a few weeks. We would really like to try getting pregnant soon.

Best wishes to all!
