hi ,
How are you doing ?
Ovulation is under control of many hormones. Prolactin is one of them. This hormone is elevated during breast feeding, so there is no ovulation during this period & you don't get pregnancy.
This hormone is from a small area in brain. If you want to get pregnant, you need ovulation, so you need proper levels of Prolactin. If levels are very high >200 ng/ml you need t get investigated .
Reconfirm that Thyroid profile is normal & you are not on any other medications.
have a MRI to rule out any micro or macroadenomas. Treatment will depend upon the finding . If levels are not very high, you can control prolactin with oral medications like Cabergolin or Bromocryptin
Hope I have clarified your queries, do write back if any more queries.
All the best
