What causes a pituitary tumor with a very high prolactin to increase in size and prolactin to go decrease way below normal after taking bromocriptine for 18 months?

Bromocriptine acts on the dopamine receptors to increase dopamine levels which increased dopamine reduces prolactin levels. I would hypothesize that even though your prolactin levels decrease that it would be possible that the tumor could still grow because of the fact that it is abnormal cells and the growth may be irrelevant to your prolactin level. Most pituitary tumors are benign, but not all. I would recommend looking into some diets designed to eliminate cancer. Eat more fruits and veggies that are high in antioxidants, and eliminate oxidants that you have control of.

Will a gestational sac grow if progesterone levels are too low Miscarried at 6 weeks gest sac measured 6 weeks with no embryonic sac or fetal pole. Could low progest levels have caused the this?

Im not a doctor by any means, but this just happened to me. Six weeks along a transvaginal ultra sound showed no gestational sac or any form of develpment. At that time they said you will miscarry. ( This is my 3rd one) At the time of my ultrasounds, my HcG level was 1400- 2 days later it jumped to only 1800- 2 weeks later they sent me to the lab for more blood work and the HcG level was 3500. They did another ultra sound and found a gestational sac that was not formed 2 weeks prior. Now I will be seeing a specialist going forward, but they currently think my iussue is hormonal. My HCg levels are way too low during my last two pegnancies. I wish I know what caused this..... Good luck to you. Jersey

While a normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. So a .76 falls within what is classified as the normal range.
