You mentioned that you were recently diagnosed with high prolactin levels and this condition is known as hyperprolactinemia. There are a lot of different things that can cause it and one of the first symptoms a woman usually has is she's not having periods or not having regular periods, and it sounds like this is the case for you as you've been trying to have a third child, you didn't have a problem with your first two. Many women don't have periods, they go seeking help and this is sometimes a diagnosis that is found. High prolactin levels affect your ability to ovulate and that's why it's hard to get pregnant. Certain medications can cause higher prolactin levels and there are other explanations as well. It can go along with other hormonal imbalances. You asked some really good questions about how you can balance your hormones and make it possible for you to have another baby. These are all really good questions for your doctor who knows the most about your situation, the lab results, your past health history, and your current status. I hope the best for you and if you have any other questions for me in the future feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at Facebook.com/IntermountainMoms and recommend us to your friends and family too.
