Hello everyone, I just got my test results back and everything seems to be good, although I’m slightly concerned that my prolactin is too low, it’s at 9ng/mL.

I looked up prolactin online and it seems it regulates breast growth and pregnancy, could low prolactin levels slow my breast growth?

    Not that I’ve ever heard of. The main things doctors generally monitor are blood estrogen and testosterone. High T levels can inhibit breast growth, and the same with low E levels.

    Worth speaking with a medical professional (if you have one) about how you feel about your results. Doses may need to be adjusted. You should be on some form of estrogen, and an anti-androgen depending on your E dose.

      Hello! thanks for answering! All my levels seem to be good including Estradiol, Testosterone, LH and FSH (I’m not on prog just yet) I was just scared that my prolactin could slow my breast growth. I dont see it being talked about much so I’ll assume it’s not that important 🤷‍♀️.
