hi and thanks for the query,
I would suggest you stick to the advice of your doctor, hoping he is an infertility specialist. Reason being that most drugs prescribed for infertility or trial to conceive, could present with some interactions, resulting in modifications of some blood measures or hormones measured in blood., A knowledge of the drugs the patients are taken are important for the interpretation of these results.
Secondly, high prolactin level deserve to exclude that you do not have any problem with your small or your sight. In case you do have any of these symptoms, including chronic headaches, a possibility of a brain tumor called a prolactinoma should be raised and excluded. A brain CT scan and MRI could be necessary under these conditions. Using metformin to lose weight to me does not look very healthy. Diet and exercise remain the most effective long term, safe and effective weight losing strategies.
I suggest you consult an infertility specialist and a nutritionist for a complete clinical review and management. Thanks and kind regards,
