Monitoring Ovulation While On Bromocriptine
by: Maria Gioia Atzori

High prolactin levels suppresses ovulation. Bromocriptine inhibits the release of the hormone prolactin from the pituitary gland, thus allowing ovulation to resume and the menstrual period to become regulated. Prolactin affects the menstrual cycle and milk production as well, in fact some women with high prolactin levels may experience milk leakage from the nipples even if they are not nursing a baby. When prolactin levels are too high a woman cannot ovulate regularly leading to poor fertility and inability to conceive.
The ability of this drug to regulate the menstrual cycle depends on your body response to it and the correct prescription.

Within a few months you should have you period and begin monitoring your ovulation patterns to detect if you are actually ovulating. I recommend using Ovacue Fertility Monitor.

This allows you to detect not only ovulation but pregnancy as well. Talk to your doctor if you think that you might be pregnant. In most cases the drug can be stopped, but it depends on each situation. Communicating to you prescribing physician is very important.

All the best!

Hi Melanie,

Please, find a substitute doctor or go to a walk in clinic or hospital for assessment. Having your periods for two months needs medical attention.

This is a drug which is used to treat hyperprolactinemia, which is when a woman does not ovulate due to the fact that the pituitary gland produces high levels of prolactin.

After starting bromocriptine for a week, prolactin levels should be tested to confirm that the dose is effective.

If the levels of prolactin are too high, your doctor will adjust by increasing the dose until the correct dose that regulates your cycle is reached.

Remember that bromocriptine only suppresses an elevated prolactin level while you are taking it, but it does not cure your situation. So, you should be try to conceive while on this drug and as soon as you have a confirmed pregnancy you should stop taking it at once.

Consider that you may not be tolerating this drug and that your doctor may need to prescribe another medication.

I would not wait. Find someone that can help you in person as soon as you can.


Many Blessings!
