Slightly high Prolactin Level

I am not on test yet, I have been on HCG monotherapy for 3 weeks. My T level is in the 100's so I had more labs done. My prolactin is slightly out of range. Does anyone know what this may mean? My Value Standard Range Prolactin 22.1 ng/mL 3.0 - 17.9 ng/mL

Crazy low #'s and even crazier situation
