High Prolactine (sp?)level?
| Wed, 07-16-2003 - 3:01pm |
Hi ladies,
Ally here, graduate of this awesome board...my sister just had a blood trest done that showed she has high prolactin level..which basically means she is not ovulating properly (usually pg or breastfeeding women have high level) This can be caused by various things i am told...Anyone have this and have it go away with medication or anything else? She retested today to verify level.
Thx in advance, ally

I hope the prolactin goes down for her soon.

My friend was TTC for over a year, and found out she had high prolactin levels. Her RE prescribed some medication, and she was pg. soon after that. She now has a healthy 1 yr. old little girl. She's pg. with #2, and conceived the first month with no medication. She said that once the medication helps you get pg. the first time, it's usually corrected for future pregnancies.
I wish your sister the best of luck!

I'm not sure how common the problem is. You can find out your prolactin level from a simple blood test. Prolactin levels are normally high in women who are nursing. High prolactin levels in women who are not nursing can cause infertility because their hormones are not in sync. I think one of the symptons is secretion of fluid/milk from your nipples (sorry, if TMI).
Hope this helps.
