Given the medications you are taking, you
are probably experiencing lack of
ovulation due to excessive production of
the hormone called "prolactin"
(hyperprolactinemia). Excessive production
of the hormone prolactin by the pituitary
gland can cause lack of ovulation.
Clomiphene is an ovulation stimulator and
distinex (cabergoline) is a prolactin
blocker. Estradil and progesterone are
female hormones very important for the
reproductive functions of the body. It
will take at least 6 months to have
results using these medications.
