prolactin

How long does it take for prolactin levels to naturally rise back up after you accidentally crushed it with Cabergoline? I did this recently and I’m having trouble getting erections for the first time ever. Hoping it will recover soon.

Does anyone have experience with crushing their prolactin levels down to almost nothing? My prolactin levels have always sat mid range and as I get older I’ve noticed my refractory period isn’t quite as great as it used to be. It’s got me curious about prolactin and whether I should try...

For the last 4 years my Prolactin has been slightly elevated (above the high range) on every test. I had a Macroprolactin test and confirmed it is high prolactin. My Doc has ordered a MRI. I also should mention that I have low Estrogen, I have never taken an AI, been on TRT for 12 years. I take...

I've been using cabergoline with some success as my prolactin is always high normal and not optimal. It works well, and allow me to cum quicker, and in a some cases multiple times. However I'm very risk adverse and don't like the effects caber can have on the heart value, so I wanted to give...

I don't have all of the results from my 6-week labs back yet, but I did get my Prolactin back. It shot up from a 7 ng/mL before starting TRT to 18.8 ng/mL. I definitely noticed side effects from that as it has taken much longer for me to reach orgasm. I didn't have sex for 48 hours prior to...

High prolactin, e2 somewhat high, would an ai help? Or should I look into caber.

Also looking to maybe increase T dose to get it into the...
