Can you get pregnant with a prolactin level of 26?

Patient's question:

I have always had very regular periods, but this month I didn't take any contraceptive measures. However, my period has been delayed by more than ten days now, and both pregnancy tests and ultrasounds have shown that I'm not pregnant. (I had a blood test in May that said my prolactin level was 26.) Could this be related to my period not coming?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The normal value of prolactin is 25, right? The reference value remains the same regardless of the stage. A slight increase does not necessarily indicate elevated prolactin, and it could also be caused by factors such as diet, emotions, or instrument errors. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of fertility risks maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, or cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
