Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. 7 weeks ago I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. I still have not had AF. I went to the doctor last week and had my prolactin level checked (my prolactin was elevated when I originally found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks). Sure enough it was elevated again, about the same amount as last time...however pregnancy test was negative.
I have been doing research online because my doctor was confused and didn't know what to think about it...she thought maybe it was from stress. Looks like it could be several things, including a mass on my pituitary gland causing release of prolactin.
Anyway, I now know why I haven't had AF. Elevated prolactin prevents you from ovulating.
Anyone else have this happen after a miscarriage? Or in general. I'm confused and frustrated and all sorts of emotions!
