Wood is good with cialis or Viagra. Am worried about the prolactin I tested at was 16.....thats high. I have a feeling it has to do with it maybe? I am wondering if lowering my hcg will help a little.

Cabergoline lowers prolactin. Lowering your estradiol will not impact it at all.I was thinking if I lowered my e2 that maybe my prolactin would come down? I don't know am trying to figure it out!
What is the range, the upper end? One must be cautious with cabergoline as a very, very little can go a long way.Ok thanks for the info on the estradiol. My doc doesn't think the 16 is high and won't give me anything for it?
Our big 2 Drs plus Nelson and one other in a group discussion one thing that came up was Prolactin and treating it @ 5 (as in 5 being to high) with Dostinex (Cabergoline @ .25mg E3.5D) but I subsequently haven't seen that number used, and further Prolactin numbers seem to vary on who it is and what day of the week and how they feel about it that particular day to what number some one deems too high. It's been one of the more murky subjects and it's almost as bad as Estradiol with it's numbers.
