Raised Prolactin

[rachsword]

Has anyone been diagnosed high prolactin levels? Mine was 1374. Had a blood test 2 weeks before and it was 1482. Been taking Vitex agnus castus for a week so not sure if it was that which helped it drop a bit or was just a coincidence. Has anyone else had this?

I know Angus castus was recommended to a woman who was breastfeeding her preschooler and still hadn't had her period after 3 years as she wanted to get pregnant, (it worked) so at a rough uneducated guess it's possible?

thanks so much did she have high prolactin levels?

and also how long did it take her to conceive after taking the vitex?

I'm only guessing; prolactin is high when you breastfeed. I remember she had a baby around a year - 18 months later.

Why were your prolactin levels measured?

I had a miscarriage in June and my first period didn't come back until 7 weeks after my d&c and then my next cycle came on day cd45. I decided to have my hormone levels checked and this is how they discovered my levels were high

I am wondering if a miscarriage could raise prolactin levels

I have high prolactin and a prolactinoma. I was diagnosed when I came off the pill to TTC years ago and my periods didn’t return. Also had milk leakage. I had to take quinagolide then brimoxriptine. I should still take it but I gave up several years ago when I started taking medication for something else.

@icedancerlenny I am so sorry to hear that. Can I ask how high your levels were. Do my levels indicate what you had?
