For googling about my blood test results?

I am, obviously.

Prolactin is 733, which is slightly raised apparently. I've made an appt to speak to the doctor about it tomorrow but of course couldn't restrain my silly self from googling. Apparently it is a hormone most related to breastfeeding and being pregnant, neither of which I'm doing at the moment. The tests were to check my fertility.

I'm now really worried that my fertility might be affected. Although we haven't started trying yet I'm desperate to have children. The thought that I might not be able to is literally unbearable. On the way home from the doctors I had a little cry under my umbrella Sad [loser], especially when I saw a cute baby.

I know this is massively self-indulgent when there are lots of people who have been trying for ages and still no luck, but there you go.

Would just like someone to pat me on the head and say 'There, there you mental , it will all be fine'

Fine, thanks. She said that the level in itself wasn't very worrying as all my others were fine. ALso, I had had full bloods done twice a week apart (because she didn't get enough blood the first time) and as it happened prolactin had been tested then and was only 200, which is very normal. She said it was probably to do with my menstrual cycle. So I'm feeling much more relaxed now!

I have been found to have adrenal adenomas after a CT scan for something else
I am besides myself with worry as saw endocrinologist who had asked me to do 24 hr urine test and blood tests to check hormone levels.
No obvious symptoms but am terrified . Are these things treatable ?
Please someone try and reassure me
Cannot deal with this
