Been a while since I was on this site, but I just discovered this dedicated Prolactin subforum, looks like theres loads of good stuff stickied, so have lots of reading to do! In the mean time I thought I'd post here.
I started a thread in the TRT subforum a while back, and have since had a few tests which show significantly high Prolactin. For detailed info and test results you can check it out (formatting the tables was a bitch, and I can't seem to easily copy/paste them here):
33 y/o, elevated Estradiol, looking for advice
But some take quick aways:
Started self prescribed TRT in November to see if it would alleviate long standing symptoms I've had. Did not get Prolactin tested before starting unfortunately. On 120mg Test C p/w: Prolactin was 515 mIU/L (45-375). On 80mg Test C p/w: Prolactin was 559 mIU/L (45-375).
Testosterone and Estradiol increased then decreased in line with the dosage change, but Prolactin actually went up!
So what I'm wondering - Does Prolactin take a long time to reduce naturally due to elevated E2 levels, or are my levels indicative of something else like a pituitary tumor?
Thanks
