Did he say anything about that test? He repeated the prolactin and I will have results next week. I am also concerned because I have had problems with swelling of the optic disk and visual disturbances in the past(6 years ago- the same time my periods stopped). The doc said that it is unlikely that the prior swelling and the currect prolactin levels are related. He seems unconcerned with pituitay problems. I am usually very proactive (doc probably calls it annoying :)) at my appts, but my last one was on the tail end of a migraine so I was pretty much in a stupor. Have you heard of low grade fever being accosiated with pcos? cheri
