High Prolactin But No symtoms(symptoms)

I am 25 year old, married for 2 years. Am TTC for about 6 months I had a chemical pregnancy about 5 months ago .I was on iron and folic acid tablets for three months. My scanning came normal (NO PCOS).My blood report showed everything normal but had high level prolactin level (138ng\ml).I have no symptoms of prolactin levels. I have migraine issues from 10 years. So doctor has put me on cabergoline for 1.5 months. she said no need of CT right now if the hormone levels has not decreased she said we will get CT done.
Last year I lost my dad and was in deep depression for 5 months in fact was not sleeping for 3 months.

My Question is Can Stress\trauma increase prolactin level?
And what is the chance of tumor?

Hi Gracy,
I'm sorry about your loss.
I was also diagnosed with elevated prolactin levels early this year.  Mine was measured at 45ng.  I was prescribed bromocriptine 1x a day. My doctor said they like to see your levels under 25ng and even lower if you are under 30. My levels dropped to 19 within a couple of months.  Are your periods irregular?  Mine were super irregular, lasting 42-45 days.  Only the past couple of months that they have gotten shorter.  I did a lot of research on prolactin levels of fear that I would have tumor.  From what I read and from my doctor's advice, a MRI is only done when the patient's #'s are over 100ng or is having symtoms (symptoms) (headaches, vision blurs/changes).  So if you have any of these symptoms then I would suggest that you insist on getting scanned.  I also read that stress can add to the elevated prolactin levels, but it is not the only reason why.  I think in my case, I was on the pill for 10 yrs and my hormones just couldn't catch up after I stopped taking the pill.
Best of luck to you and hope the info helps u!
