hello
welcome to healthcare magic. do not panic. have you got your thyroid levels tested? also this prolactin test was done at which time of the day? also was it repeated after a few days or is this the only report you have? also are you on any other medication? the progesterone levels are low for which you will have to take a medicine which will improve your levels. it is best that you go see an infertility specialist. meanwhile start taking folic acid tablet if your not already taking it.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
High prolactin level ( Hyperprolactinemia ) is one of the cause for infertility. High prolactin is also cause of low progesterone . Consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes of infertility. Doctor will also start treatment for high prolactin. Once prolactin level normalizes after treatment your periods will become regular, you ll have regular ovulation and chances of pregnancy will be high. Take care.

hello
welcome to health care magic. i hope you have got your thyroid profile done because high tsh (hypothyroidism) may also lead to hyperprolactenemia. also it is ot always that raised prolactin needs to be treated. you need to have a cycle of just follicular monitoring. there on further treatment can be started.
