Yes: Prolactinomas are common pituitary tumors that may be treated with medication. Other kinds of pituitary tumors may also cause infertility. Correcting the hormone abnormalities with either medical or surgical treatment will restore fertility.

Pituitary tumor: Getting pregnant is determined by what damage or lack of damage the tumor has done to the gland. An endocrinologist can do the necessary workup to answer the question.

Depends: The answer depends on the size of the tumor and the kind of hormone the tumor is producing (if it's producing anything at all). Many patients with small non-functioning pituitary tumor can have successful pregnancies without problems.
