Hi G83, I also had high prolactin before treatment but mine was VERY high. I was put on treatment as soon as it was discovered as had been ttc for 1 year before even knew it was an issue. When they discovered it, the Dr said that it was no wonder nothing had happened as apparently high levels of prolactin can actually trick your body into thinking you are either already pregnant or breadfeeding.... This is what I was told anyway.... I had been taking Dostinex just once a week and this regulated my prolactin immediately from the 1st week. I agree with the ladies below. It would be a shame to waste a cycle if this is an issue so probably best to sort it out now. Your doctor should be able to provide treatment for it I would imagine... I stopped the treatment during the 2ww as they say to stop as soon as you suspect you may be pregnant. I have no idea on insulin Im afraid... Good luck!

So difficult when doctors are telling you different things. I don’t have exactly the same issues but have quite high prolactin which was treated with cabergoline. I was told to treat before IVF by my doctors in the UK. Recently had IVF with Dr Fakih and still took my medication through treatment until embryo transfer. He was happy with this but maybe my levels were much higher. IVF is an expensive business, if it is not too difficult to treat (I have no idea about insulin treatment) I think I would do before, then if the treatment is not successful you won’t be wondering if it had an impact? Good luck whatever you decide.
