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. 

Tips

By the way I have noticed that my periods seem to be between 26-28 days.  Constant fluctuation, how are anyone else's.  If anyone has any new tips for conceiving or infertility, i would love to hear them...???

guilty

Alright. Alright.  I am guilty of not starting the ovulation predictor...Gawd couldn't they make something that requires unorganization.  It might be a little easier.  I have left the box in the kitchen and unfortunately it has not made it's way into the bathroom for my morning testing.  Perhaps I just don't like the idea that once again we could be trying for something that's not going to happen.  Yes, the dreaded idea makes me cringe.  I want to be pregnant but I have this little voice saying "stay positive", while the other little voice says "it's just going to be another disappointing six months".  The problem that I have is that like many women out there my prolactin has decreased so it's officially time to see if I can conceive but there's the check list that follows a) stop all caffeine, alcohol (i like the occassional glass of wine), hubby preparation, all that wonderful sensual stuff.  Ya...I wish it was that easy.  then the doc tells you to be patient and relax.  yup I am all over that.  relaxed.....ummmm...only been trying for 1 year and counting so really what's another six months of dreaded ordeal.  (sarcasm) On the bright side, prolactin is down and the majestic opportunity to welcome me to motherhood.  the thought overwhelms me with joy.  perhaps I am alone on this one but how do you get your frame of mind back to the happy thoughts when for so long it's been nothing but worry and constant failure of conceiving.  Ugh.
