Can I Take Clomid In Case Of High Prolactin Level While Suffering From PCOD And Trying To Conceive?

Hello Doctor, I am a PCOD patient and have been trying to conceive for the last one year. I have a high prolactin level of over 35. Took 3 cycles of clomid 50 and 1 cycle of clomid 100 and still no luck. Changed my doctor who started me on cabergolin tablets for 3 months to reduce my prolactin level (2nd month running). So have few questions here: 1. How many cycles of clomid can our bodies take? 2. How long will it take for these cabergoline tablets to bring about some effect? 3. My doc insists that with these cabergolin tablets, even a dosage of clomid 50 will work, eventually! Or since i have had no luck with clomid 50, should i be looking at higher dosages? Regards, Ammu

Hi ammu, you can take 12 cycles of clomid totally, after that it increases the risk of ovarian cancer. It takes around 2 to 3 months to get prolactin levels back to normal. I think you can try one cycle with 50 mg of clomid because you are using cabergoline tablets. If it doesn't work, then you can go for a higher dose. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.
