Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion you are on correct line of treatment.
Your wife has problems of hypothyroidism and galactorrhea both are the cause of female infertility.
They might cause hormonal imbalance leading to irregular ovulation and irregular cycles.
Cabgoline is better than bromicriptine and increases the conception chances.
Cabgoline is given as tapering dose and the prolactin level is repeated after the course.
The prolactin level is only mildly elevated.(upto 20ng/ml is taken as normal).
But both the problems are correctable and once the level becomes normal the conception becomes successful.
Presence of pus cells in semen indicate infection and it needs a course of antibiotics to be taken.
Nothing to worry.Avoid stress.As both your and your partners problems are correctable and reversible.
There are good chances of pregnancy once they are corrected.
Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
