High prolactin levels

QUESTION

Hi everyone,

I’m on my 9th cycle of trying to conceive and could use some advice. My recent blood work shows high prolactin, hovering between 900–978 mIU/L, and the lab confirmed it’s not macroprolactin. I know that an underactive thyroid is a very common cause of high prolactin, but my thyroid panel is completely optimal, with a TSH of 1.9.

What's confusing is that my cycles are regular, with clear signs of ovulation and a perfect 14-day luteal phase. I'm worried this mild elevation is acting as a hidden roadblock to egg quality or implantation.

If you had high prolactin with a normal thyroid, what were your next steps? Did a doctor prescribe something like Cabergoline, and how long did it take to work?
