Stop using it.: What r u using bromocriptine for? It is used to decrease the size of tumor of pituitary gland of brain, mostly a prolactinoma. Tumor can compress optic nerve, causing loss of peripheral vision of both eyes.High prolactin levels can cause loss of periods & breast milk secretion. U should not use it b/c it will suppress your breast milk production, needed by your newborn. Always consult your obgyn.

Check with your OB: There are studies that have shown the use during pregnancy and the discontinuation. Any time you consider taking a medication or discontinuing one during pregnancy check with your ob.
