High Prolactin !!!?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you are well. Please allow me to explain my concern. My wife & I are trying for a baby. Her blood tests by her gyno. have revealed that her Prolactin is very high. About 3 tests have been done & only the most recent one showed that it was normal.

So her gyno. has suggested to us to get an MRI done for her brain w/contrast & consult an endocrinologist.

My question is, should I consult the endocrinologist before the MRI? Will he also ask to get the MRI done?

Please let me know. Thank you for this great service. Take care.

Sincerely,
Awais.

Also, my wife says that she thinks the 2 blood tests done during her 2 seperate periods showed high prolactin while the last one showed normal prolactin because it was done after her period. Is this possible?

go get the MRI done, I had a high prolactin and after my MRI found out I had a pituitary tumor. It was removed from my nose with little scaring and I was in the hospital a few days. If not caught in time it can be very serious. Go see an endocrinologist. They will send you to have the MRI. See the endo first. They are the ones who caught my tumor, my gyno kept giving me blood test after blood test and eventually I went to the endo myself. Good Luck!
