Hi! I’ve been battling high prolactin since summer (so I know of!) as I’ve been under investigation due to irregular periods and bloods in June showed mine was 1300+. I had repeats done in October and they were 1000+. Extremely worried and doctors don’t seem concerned but I’ve had a lot of side effects. After breaking down I was referred for an MRI and currently waiting now. It’s been a month so hopefully not long! Makes me worried as I’ve been with my partner for nearly 6 years and have always had unprotected sex and never had one accident… makes me wonder if my high prolactin could be causing infertility. Hopefully you get repeats done and if it’s high again you can get to the bottom of it! Good luckI just got an update from my doctor this morning. On my cycle day 21, my progesterone level is 4.8, when it should be around 40. Similarly my prolactin is at 682 which is much higher than it should be. Anyone heard of This?
Folic Acid (natural folate is better), omega 3 and vitamin D now it’s winter is all you’re supposed to need unless you know you’re deficient in anything. I also take high dose of Coq10 for egg quality.Well not much to report here! I don’t even know if I’m in my tww yet, I think I amI’ve got Flo and pre mom and both are saying completely different things, I half arsed tracked ov but had a positive Saturday, then a negative Sunday and then another positive Monday morning on clearblue.. no idea!! Flo says I’m ovulating Thursday!
This is why they say to put down the sticks and appsThink DTD was timed well tho so
Annoying about pregnacare. I’ve got the conception ones and they are pricey!! I’m very sporadic when I take them to be honest. I think I might just take some decent folic acid instead, if that’s all we are supposed to be taking?
Figured something out and booked an appointment in a clinic in the next town over which has far better availability.Anyone had any success booking blood tests? The clinic I’ve been asked to book into are only offering appointments 3 weeks in advance. How am I supposed to book an appointment for day 2 of my cycle? My cycle isn’t clockwork enough to enable me to predict when day 2 will be, my cycle ranges from 25-31 days long.
Thank you! My doct appt got rescheduled for next Tuesday so hopefully I get some answers.Hi!

Welcome loveHey everyone, long time lurker but never had the guts to actually post until now. I just need to rant a bit I think so please scroll past if you want
Basically, been not trying/not preventing for about 4 years but last December decided to actually start trying. I'm using a basic tracking app and it seemed to be accurate in predicting my periods (so I assumed ovulation was correct too). To cut a long story short, April was the first time I'd missed a period (by 10 days) so I tested on the tenth day of the missed period because I didn't want to get my hopes up. Tested negative and I was gutted, then came on that night. After that we took a few months break from trying because it just really upset me and I started overthinking and getting in my own head over it all, stressing out etc. Anyway, we've recently started trying again and I'm currently 3 days late so I tested this morning and it was negative and lo and behold I've come on tonight. Why does my body do this to me?! I'm so frustrated. I'm coming up to 35 years old so starting to worry more about my chances so thinking about making a GP appointment to check my fertility but I'm very nervous in case I find out something I don't want to if that makes sense? I suspect I have pcos but obviously it's not been tested for. Should I start there and ask to be checked for that? It's all just so stressful but I worry I'm wasting time. Just ordered some ovulation sticks to see if I'm even ovulating when I'm supposed to/if at all. Thank you if you have read all of this and sending positive vibes to everyone in the same boat
Hard to tell if it's an evap line but pink dye is supposed to be more reliable than blue dye afaik and if it came up within the test time then it's hopefully good news. Hopefully another test in a couple of days gives you good news, fingers crossed for youHave you guys ever opened a test, like cracked it open? I’m starting think mine is an evap line. It was a first response 6 days early test. I darkened the photo because my friend asked me too. Is it an evap line or not? I cant tell anymore and I have no more tests to take because it was the last one. Period due in 3 days apparently
Are you me? I felt like I was reading my diary there age, time frame, timings haha! Even down to being late, finally testing them I wipe and there’s blood. It’s like my body lets me get hopes up to be meanHey everyone, long time lurker but never had the guts to actually post until now. I just need to rant a bit I think so please scroll past if you want

Sorry to hear you're in the same position, it's so mentally drainingAre you me? I felt like I was reading my diary there age, time frame, timings haha!

It’s like my body lets me get hopes up to be meanI need to go docs too and chickened out before summer because I’m scared of being told something bad really. I am going in the new year though, just going to enjoy Christmas first.
I don’t have a much advice because you were writing my thoughts and I’m after the same answer haha! All the positive vibes to you aswell though
Sorry you're going through this. Just wanna say ovulation sticks only detect a rise in LH, it doesn't mean you've ovulated and it's a very common misconception. Day 21 bloods with your doctor confirm ovulation.Hey everyone, long time lurker but never had the guts to actually post until now. I just need to rant a bit I think so please scroll past if you want

Thank you, it's a completely new world to me so I have no clue what I'm doingSorry you're going through this. Just wanna say ovulation sticks only detect a rise in LH, it doesn't mean you've ovulated and it's a very common misconception. Day 21 bloods with your doctor confirm ovulation.
