HI and thanks for this query.

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with high prolactin levels. Happy though to know you are making significant progress. Well, triquilar is a birth control pill. If you want to get pregnant now, then you may not really want to use it. However, if you don't want to get pregnant, then you may want to use it. I don't know what the cause of the hyperprolactinemia was. if it were not permanently treated but merely controlled with drugs, then you may have to watch out. it is always advisable to provide contraception to woen with this disorder because the cycle can become messy and they get unplanned pregnancies.
The pill is of course no problem taking for 6onths. It will not distort your system unless it were to be distorted.
Hope this helps.
Wish you well.
