Raised prolactin level

loopylulu · Sep 20th, 2009, 11:21 AM

I had a raised prolactin levels in 2000 before which settled down and my levels were normal in 2007 but I have always had abonormal milk production. The doctors said in 2007 it was probably due to either the pill or the antidepressents I was taking but I have been off both for nearly 3 months now and I'm still getting the milk production. I went to the doctor the other day and explained I am still getting the milk production even after stopping the pill and antidepressants and she has sent me for another blood test. I'm really worried there might be problem now as I know high prolactin levels can affect your fertility. Since coming off the pill in July I appear to be getting an LH surge each month on my clear blue digital ovulation tests but am getting them around CD20 and only having a leutal phase of 6-7 days. Does anyone else have problems with their Prolactin level and/or short leutal phase? I know I've only been off the pill a short time but I can't stop worrying.

I had high prolactin levels and found out that I had a pituitary adenoma. They put me on Dostinex and it brought my prolactin level back down to normal and I was able to conceive. I hope this helps.

I have a pituitary malanoma. I produce milk and few other symptoms. I've been under my local endocrine unit for mri's and blood tests for 4 years. Stress is a massive part in raised prolactin so try keep relaxed. What was your last prolactin level? I have recently gone under 500 so I am coping with it.
