Q: Prolactinoma

Hi, I have been diagnosed with a tumor on my pituitary gland and this was found because I had a prolactin level of over 600. It now is under control with dostinex medication and the tumor has shrunk down to the size of a pinky thumb nail. My concern is my husband and I are thinking of having children and my worry is taking the medication during pregnancy because of possiblity of harming the baby and or me. The prolactin level will become elevated when pregnancy occurs because that is what it does and the medication is needed to keep in down. Also, I will not be able to breast feed because of the medication. My doctor says he has no question that it would be allright. I on the other hand and my husband are still worried. Having to take this medication for the rest of my life is very scary. I am interested in any feedback anyone can give me. Thank you very much.
Signed,
worried possible mother to be
