Tumor who?
This year in June my period (for the first time) became very irregular, it was 15 days late. Then I got my period in July. After that I didn’t have a period for 3 months. I at first hope I was pregnant but after many negative pregnancy tests, I decided it was time to go to the doctor. They took some blood and noticed that my prolactin was high. They rechecked it and it was still very high(a 46 when it’s supposed to be under 20). Next step, an MRI. A few days later they called me and told me I have a pituitary tumor. Not large but it was secreting excess prolactin. Which stopped my periods(I wasn’t ovulating at all) and gave me some of my other symptoms. They started me on my medicine which made me so sick for a while. But I’ve adjusted. Had my second check up, I asked how long I’ll needed to be on the medication and the doctor said forever. And if my periods don’t regulate in these next few months, I’ll have to look into a fertility drug. Which ups my chances of multiples. Which already runs in my family. Wish me luck.
