Prolactin testing

Prolactin is the hormone that stimulates the production of breast milk in women. High levels of prolactin result in a condition known as hyperprolactinemia, a condition that interferes with ovulation. Blood tests to determine if this is the cause of an ovulatory problem are usually performed at the beginning of the cycle.
