I think I did, I'm not sure!

A little background for those of you who don't know. I have messed up prolactin levels. Prolactin is a very important hormone for ovulation. Too high, no O, too low, maybe.

Normal prolactin range 4.8-23.3
First draw 32.4 (prolactin too high, failure to ovulate)
Dostinex 30 days (0.25 mg 2 times a week)
Second draw 0.2 (almost no prolactin, unsure of ovulation, possible failure)

I haven't taken the Dostinex for about 2 weeks and my level could have gone into normal range which is what I'm hoping. I'm on half my previous dose now.

Anyway from CD's 3-7 I took Soy Isoflavones and B6 which is supposed to help with O. For the past week, I've had massive amounts of EWCM and loads of cramps. The EWCM when from kinda thick to thin and still very stretchy, I think that's what it was supposed to do. Even though we are pretty much NTNP, with all the CM, I did a CP check. It never went high and soft till yesterday, and I was pretty wet there. DH and I've been busy every other day! Very busy! LOL I've had some really bad headaches lately too!

After loving my husband yesterday (CD15), I had a sharp needle like pain in my lower right side and (I know this sounds strange) a similar pain in my shoulder. Very sharp, and very quick! I did a CP/CM check here a bit ago, CP is still pretty high but my CM isn't as nice as it was. It's pretty thick, I don't think that's fertile.

Was that O? I can't remember what O is actually like since I haven't done it in so long!

Thanks hun! I hope it was! Even if we don't end up with a BFP this cycle, it would be nice to know my body is working properly.

Forgot to tell you all something though. I may have to be on the Dostinex the rest of my life, not happy about it and not sure what we are going to do yet.

Hey! I've had like NO decent cm for a long time..only just getting EWCM (I think) and then not much so its hard for me to answer...although I was nursing up until June so the high prolactin levels from my producing milk may have explained my abscence of cm and therefore your presence of cm might be a good sign for your prolactin levels...if you know what I mean, lol.

Also, the H/S CP before sharp pain and then change in cm to non-fertile is a pretty good indicator. Its very hard to tell if you don't chart your temps and see a temp rise. Maybe its something you can look into if you haven't tried it already? You can look at charts of otehrs with high prolactin too to compare? Maybe you would see some pattern which would give you a good idea which cycles are looking better than others?

Anyhoo...goodluck! I know what you mean about wanting to feel your body is acting normal again! I'm on no-meds myself right now and its looking possibly-good for the first time in a looong time!
