Hi Polly, I started the supression drugs on CD22. They are getting better. I do them in my stomach where there's more fat. I wasn't scared at all finding about the tumor in my pituitary. I was actually releived b/c there was some answers to my problems. Plus, I knew it was a benign tumor & didn't need surgery. Good luck with your MRI. I hope all is clear & you can move on soon. Those prolactin levels will come down quickly with meds. I start my clinic visits this wed. I will be starting the stimulation (puregon) drugs this friday. Those will be twice a day...oh boy. Keep in touch...

Hi Sara,
Thanks again for your support. I am hoping that everything goes well for you. You've given me a lot of hope. I have heard though that the tumors are sometimes cancerous. Today I started to get really nervous about it and I felt like I was having a panic attack. I have to keep reminding myself that there may not be anything wrong at all. My doctor is even relating it to stress becasue he sees no other signs (thyroid, blood pressure, vision etc.) I guess time will tell.
Take Care and thanks

Hi Polly, things are well with me. I begun puregon last friday & I went in for my 1st check today. I'm responding well...have lots of follies on each ovary. the biggest measured 10.4. I go in again on weds...hopefully they will be bigger. My bloodwork showed my estrogen levels are right were they should be. How are you doing? Not much longer for the MRI, July wasn't it? Talk to you soon...

Hi queen123, having a high prolactin can cause infertility....& it can be controlled ny medication. Back in feb I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma that was causing my prolactin to be elevated. I was at 36 & when I took the med it came down to 14. It's not a serious condition (so to speak)...but I do have to be monitored & have a recheck MRI in a year's time.

Hi Polly, good luck with your MRI next week...let me know. I just got done with IVF. They retrieved 27 eggs, 18 fertilized with ICSI & they transfered 2, 8 cell embryos on June.23. I go for b/w July.7 to find out if it worked. We were also lucky b/c we had 5 embryos make it to the blastocyst stage (after the transfer) & we are freezing them,

Hi Polly, I was thinking of you and wanted to know how you made out with your MRI. Did you get the results yet?
