It's Not Pcos!

Posted by 3jane , in Solutions 22 February 2012 · 191 views

Yaaay, I don't have PCOS!

I have something, though. Both my DHEA and Prolactin levels are elevated, so the doctor suggested there was something wrong with my pituitary gland, maybe a small tumor or just... something. I'll have to make an appointment with an endocrinologist tomorrow to know for sure.
I know Lamictal can cause people to lactate at high enough doses, does that mean it messes with your Prolactin levels? That might explain that, but not the DHEA.

Keep us updated on what endocrinologist says. I'm interested to see if this might be med related.

:( Unfortunately all the endos I called didn't have an open appointment until mid/late march, and I'm leaving the area on the 4th. I go to school in a very small town that doesn't have an endocrinologist, so I might have to wait until I'm back in Tampa after Spring quarter to get it checked out.
A few more months won't hurt me, though. I've had the symptoms since I was young!

You have to have elevated prolactin levels in order to lactate.
