How long did it take to lower prolactin?

Question

I started meds for high prolactin due to prolactinoma last Wed. Getting my blood drawn in three weeks (4 weeks from starting meds). Curious what your levels were before meds, levels at first blood draw after meds, and how long did you wait between starting meds and getting the blood draw. Thanks!

Answer

I am your girl!🙋🏻‍♀️ I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma in October. I started bromocriptine 2.5mg and bumped up to 5mg within a week of starting meds. Started meds on 10/25, period 11/15, ovulated 11/29, bfp 12/9. At the time my level was 71 and dropped to 1 in about 3.5 weeks. Unfortunately that ended in a mmc at 7weeks in January. They had me stop the bromocriptine once I got a positive test. I restarted the bromocriptine 1/16 at 2.5mg and bumped up to 5mg again. We did not recheck prolactin after mc but had my labs drawn on 2/7 and prolactin was 1.6. Not even on the meds for 3 weeks and prolactin was within normal limits. I ovulated on 2/5 and currently in the tww. I’m following up with a reproductive endocrinologist next week since I had a mc and I have a prolactinoma. Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat!
