Hi All, I am 22 years old and was diagnosed with hyperprolactima last year in August by my gynae. I used to be very irregular and therfore went on the pill only to fing that stopped working after a while and I had given up hope.
I then went to the best infertility gynae in Durban South Africa, and was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. Just when I thought that was the worst it could get my test came back showing extreme levels of prolactin up to 400 +.
I was then referred to go for an MRI which came out showing the tumor. I was advised to wait and redo the blood test after 3 months to which still showed levels of up to 400 +.
I have been put onto parlodel to which I have no idea if this is working, The weight gain is unbearable, and causes a lack of self confidence.
I really do not know what to expect but after reading all your posts, I seem to feel I am fighting a losing battle.
Please guys any help suggestions, words of wisdom is greatly appreciated.
Please help
