Hi,
I presume you have only isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and other pituitary hormones are nornal.

If your prolactin producing cells are intact, you will have breast milk. In pregnnacy, your prolactin levels should be naturlly high. Get a prolactin test now, and if it is elevted, it is likely that your prolactin producing cells are intact . However, prolactin producing cells need some support from estrogen as well. So some estrogen supplement may be required after delivery ( based on your level of Estrogen level)
