What could this mean??

I haven’t had a period in three years, I put it down to the fact I still breastfeeding my 2 year old. I started to wonder if it was something else so just went to the doctors to speak to them. He suggested I get my bloods done and a scan on my ovaries. I got my bloods done last week and received a really vague text from my doctor this evening that said - one of your hormone markers was raised and needs further investigation. Please make an appointment to discuss this after you have your scan. What does this mean?? I have such bad health anxiety and now I’m just a worried mess. My scan isn’t booked until early September. What could this mean??

It could mean lots of things. How old are you and did he say which hormone marker was raised?

Try not to worry. There are lots of reasons that don’t mean anything horrible.

Hi, I’m going to be 36 in a few weeks. The text didn’t say which hormone was really vague. Obviously have googled it and freaked myself out.

I’m surprised he did the test as you’re still breastfeeding. Surely that’s reason enough not to menstruate. When you’re feeding your prolactin will be raised . It can be raised for other reasons too so maybe he just wants to make sure it goes down when you’ve stopped feeding. This happened to my friend and it reduced again a few months later.
