Hi!
I'm sure what they are most concerned about is your prolactin level. I'm interested to hear that you have normal cycles, because often they become irregular when the prolactin level is abnormal.
I hope they are going to do an MRI for you next. That will take a look at your pituitary gland to see if it is enlarged. If so, they will probably prescribe some medication such as Dostinex for you to try to shrink it and lower your prolactin level.
If you were my patient, I would also do a pelvic ultrasound. I would ask you a lot of questions about your bowel habits and diet too. If I suspected endometriosis, I would probably want to consider a laparoscopy(minor surgery) to take a peek inside.
MOST importantly--none of this should stop you from having a family, it can all be "fixed".
Good luck!
