prolactin

I finally received quinagolide (another DA like cabergoline) from Canada and took a quarter tablet the last couple nights to see how I feel. well it’s been subtle nausea, dizziness, and this mental fog. And worst of all, NO libido. This is not unlike how cabergoline went for me. Made things...

I've been prescribed cabergoline for a few years now (pituitary tumor), and the side effects have driven me away. Bromocriptine worked a little better (it's weaker), but the fatigue was unbearable. My doctor helped me get quinagolide from Canada, which is a non-ergolide DA. It's apparently more...

Hello, I had my labs drawn a couple weeks ago. One thing I forgot to put in my previous post was my prolactin was a little high at 15. Can I lower my prolactin by lower my dose of testosterone? I’ve just noticed my libido is better when it sits around the 5 mark. Thanks.

What's the maximum time I can use dostinex? How long time after stop it my prolactin can raise? What's the minimal effective dosage? Thank you friends

Before starting TRT, my TSH was going something like 1>1.5>2.5 and then on TRT 3.25, and now back to 2.2. Waiting for my consult with Dr Saya next week to discuss in more detail. Alongside it, my prolactin has been climbing. It normally sits around 20-30, but lately has gone into the 30s and...

Since arimidex blocks the conversion of T to E2, would that mean that it drives dht higher since that's the other hormone T coverts to? If not, where does the t go? Does it get expelled or converted into something else? Also, it seems like high prolactin reduces dht by 58 percent in a study I...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an Endocrinologist in the New York City area. Specifically to treat thyroid issues. Thank you

I was looking for something else, when I came across this study: Estradiol stimulates cortisol production by adrenal cells in estrogen-dependent primary adrenocortical nodular dysplasia. - PubMed - NCBI It's an old study and it has been performed on a single patient with ACTH-independent...

Hey everyone, I had a though and felt I'd ask everyone. What do you think caused your hypogonadism? I was thinking about my etiology and realized I don't particularly have one. I did have an one sided orchiectomy (removal of testicle) for cryptorchidism, but that wouldn't have an effect on my...

All of us are following our protocols quite blindly, trying to optimise but unsure what values to optimise to. The lab ranges vary between countries and labs. The NHS for example sets it upper T limit at 750 - whereas many people in the US naturally have higher levels than this and are perfectly...

Hello guys, I was wondering if there is a correlation between prolactin and premature ejaculation? Lately been dealing with premature ejaculation where I cant last more than a second or two. Labs recently done and am on the higher side of prolactin range....12 range is to 15. Dont know if my e2...

Been a while since I was on this site, but I just discovered this dedicated Prolactin subforum, looks like theres loads of good stuff stickied, so have lots of reading to do! In the mean time I thought I'd post here. I started a thread in the TRT subforum a while back, and have since had a few...

My recent blood results show levels of Prolactin at 513 mU/l and Oestradiol levels at 146pmol/L, I had a blood test because I thought my issue was low Testosterone but it seems it may be a pituitary issue, my symptoms are: -low sex drive -lack of facial hair -lack of masculine features -low...

I got my lab results and I’m wondering about prolactin. I can’t find much info in regards to TRT. My estradiol is a little low, prolactin is high and test is high. Estradiol 16.3 Testosterone 1595.3 Prolactin 17.4 My test dose what cut to 100mg per week from 200mg. I don’t mind that...

Been struggling with slightly elevated prolactin, 19 ug/L at last test. I've had E2 and T both high and low but doesn't affect my PRL. Pituitary is fine too. I have started to suspect I may have issues with gluten, so I googled gluten and PRL and get this "wheat product > opioid-like...

50mg every 3.5 days of Test E 500iu every 3.5 days of HCG That protocol had my E2 @ 60pg/ml. and Test at 860 ng after 2 months it also put my Prolactin well over range. SHBG has been rock steady @ 35 nmol Changed to 100iu of HCG and in 6 weeks this brought my E2 down to 36 pg/ml. which I...

Hi, I have had blood work taken and my prolactin levels are highly elevated. It came back at 696 mIU/l and the reference range is 86.00 - 324.00. This is obviously very high. My other results were: D.H.E.A Sulphate: 8.590 umo/L Follicle Stim Hormone: 3.52 IU/L...

I’ve been creeping around here for a while and thought I’d ask directly and see if there have been any other experiences or advice that could be offered. I’ve been on 160mg/wk Test Cyp since March. My test levels went from the 300’s to between 990’s and 1090’s (I’ve done three panels since)...

This is an article from 2013 that I found very interesting regarding the impact of low prolactin on men. "The results showed low prolactin was linked to several signs of poor sexual health, as well psychological health. Men with levels of prolactin that were lower than average, although still...

About two years ago, when I was 37, I had a physical and asked for a testosterone test mainly because I knew my dad had problems when he was about my age (he died in 1994). It was 108 ng/dL (range 300-1000). I guess that should have set off alarm bells, but the doctor wasn't worried and just...

Just got my lab results. Paid for a little extra after reading a bunch on this forum (thank you all for that). I really don't know enough to decipher this stuff. I don't know what to be concerned about or what it all means... but I know how I feel & it's not great after my testosterone is back...

Hi all!!! My Test Cyp dosage varied initially from .5ml/week to 1ml/week with 250 iu HCG every day. I've settled on .5ml/week with 250iu hcg every day. Initial prolactin was measured at 4.8ng/ml with a range of 4-15.2ng/ml when I started TRT back in Feb 2014. Two weeks ago I got my new lab...

Just got a call from doctors nurse....prolactin came back at 15.25 with a range of 2-13. Estrogen came back at 163 with range of 130 or less as normal. They have already put in request with insurance for the MRI of the pituitary/brain, waiting to see what they say. Last time this was tried by...
