AnswerHello Lindsey from the U.S. (New York),
Yes, you can use Dostinex and get pregnant. It will not affect your chances, rather, it may improve them. It does not pose a risk to pregnancy and is usually stopped once your get pregnant unless still needed. The prolactin levels need to be followed and once they get back to normal and remain that way, you can stop the medication.
Good Luck,
