Increase in dosage

I have officially started increasing my dosage last month to 2.5mg twice a week and now I am jumping it to 3mg twice a week to ensure that my levels go down and stay there.  I had the odd headache but nothing serious.  My doctor did inform me that once we were going to start trying again to increase the dosage as it will only help in decreasing my prolactin.  Self-medicated.   I am hoping that we finally have some success.  I am not sure how other women do this but I know from my experience I become a multi-tasker to try and keep my mind busy.  I know that if I spend all my time focusing on whether I feel like I am pregnant I drive myself to pure insanity.  I have also made an appt for my annual physical, which is now over due and the usual "Am I ready to get aboard the trying to get pregnant train".  I remember when I was younger there was always the fear of getting pregnant as I was in a committed relationship but the timing wasn't right.  Now I wonder what happened along the way.......stay positive.  8)  I do know that there are many couples going through the same experience and have been trying for quite some time.  I do know that my body responds immediately to pregnancy, since my miscarriages, I have determined that I have symptoms of pregnancy immediately.  Lower back pain is the strongest factor as the rest are the usual symptoms of high prolactin.  My doctor was surprised that many of my symptoms of high prolactin usually don't show up with patients with a level of 37-45.  He stated that they are usually significantly higher.  Perhaps I am just one of the lucky ones.  I have been experiencing frequent urination, sore breasts, headaches, tiredness (I mean exhaustion), and all of the those wonderful side effects.  Although, I have noticed that I am no longer producing a discharge out of my breasts - now that is one thing which first initiated me to see the doctor.  Very scary.
