A Brain tumour is th cause of my infertility.

[Hypnorm]

Some of you will remember me, i don't post on here very often, but thought i would let the people know.

We have been trying for baby no2 for about 2 yrs, my monthly cycles have been getting longer and longer. Bloods done last year were normal, but i went back to see the doctor 2 weeks ago as i had another 76 day cycle and he did routine bloods again, I went yesterday to get the results.
My prolactin levels are through the roof, there are only 2 causes of this.. pregancy (which i'm not) or a Prolactinoma a tumour of the Pituitary Gland.

So i am being sent for an emergency referal, within the next month.

The good news is that it is not malignant and my fertility should return once treated.

So all in all a bit of a shock for me, my hubby and family.

we think it has been caught early enough, and hopefully all i will need is drugs. or at worst radio therapy or surgery.

Hey honey,

My dad had this a couple of years ago and it was fairly straightforward to treat once they had diagnosed him - he's much better now. He got a lot of help and support from the Pitutary Foundation - you can find this on google, I think - they have lots of info about different tumours of the pituatary gland on there.

I think you'll be fine and its good to find out a reason for your infertility and be able to receive treatment - lots of love and luck

I've seen the exact same thing on discovery health channel. A lady who wasn't having her periods, turned out (after lots of tests as it was so bizzare) it was a brain tumor. As soon as it was removed she got her periods and got pregnant! I was amazed by it all....

I'm sorry you're going through this but it's great that you've found what's wrong, you'll be able to fix it

Take care, let us know how you get on
