Had a few blood tests done, minor stuff like thyroid for weigt loss and prolactin. My prolactin came back high. I'm not surprised because its been 7 months since I stopped breastfeeding (I bf for 16 months) and I never really dried up. Typically, high prolaction is a problem because it suppresses hormones and prevents ovulation. Obviously, that isn't the problem for me b/c I can get pregnant. I asked doc if it could have anything to do with m/c and she said not necessarily but she doesn't really know. Anybody have thoughts on this?

sorry i have no idea about wether it would cause a m/c. i know my friend got pregnant WHILE bf and she had a healthy pregnancy but she was high risk and im not sure if it was because of that or not (she refused to stop feeding while pregnant)
anyway, i just wanted to say sorry she showed butim glad you are getting things checked out. hopefully they can give you an idea of why this happened

I'm so glad you're getting everything checked out. I don't know anything about the high prolactin. Hope you can get some answers. KUP

I googled this for you and apparently, yes, I can suppress ovulation; however, it can also make it so you have low progesterone... I wonder if that may play a role.

Hmm.. Not sure.. But I have a friend right now, who got pg while bf... Had no idea how far she was cuz she never got af.. her daughter 12 mths when she found out, and now shes like 28 weeks, her daughter is 14 months old and is Still bf'ing... she plans on bfing the entire pg and even afterwards (I personally would probly wean if I found out I was pg and bf'ing, but it seems to be working for her)
