Hello ladies, I just need to vent. Lately, I feel like I've been trying really hard to be a lot more patient. I have always had regular periods and no fertility issues until being put on a certain drug, that I have to have and it would be difficult to change, and that's my last restort. Anyways, my pcp told me this drug can cause hyperprolactemia. Since getting on the drug in 2010 my periods went from extremely regular with regular ovulation to one period every 2-3 months. I also started having milky white discharge from my breasts. (sorry) Anywho, so they tested my prolactin level, and it was elevated at 67. They told me normal was below thirty. Well, I tried three rounds of clomid (big fat nothin that accomplished) but after the clomid they tested my level again (this is a new OB) and it was a normal high, 28. So they didn't want to prescribe me anything to lower the prolactin, thinking that it was not elevated at the time. After that test in March, I've had more periods in a row than I have had in two years! 4 periods to be exact- so I was hoping that I was ovualting on my own. So we've been trying naturally - we're on the fifth month since our last round of clomid. Though my periods have gotten longer and longer, the cycle lengths went from 29, 32, to 39, then 41 days long. From what I've read, if a cycle is longer than 36 days, you're probably not ovulating? And I've been having CM, but what I just read is that you can have the right CM, but still not O. So have I just been wasting time these last few months?Thats what I feel like I've been doing. I'm hoping my Dr puts me on Femara, she said she would if Clomid didn't work for us. Well, if anyone knows anything about prolactin (with the sudden irregular periods and discharge it probably really was elevated - so why was it normal when they tested again? it must fluctuate alot?), irregular cycles and ovulation/anovulation, you're input is appreciated. I really can't believe that in August we have been TTC for a year. Just amazes me!
