My period is late and the doc asked me to do a prolactin test, so now im confused. Does that test actually show pregnancy or is it for something else? Bit lost honestly, anyone been through this?
I totally understand how stressful waiting to confirm a pregnancy can be. But dear, prolactin test won't tell you if you are pregnant. A simple urine test or beta-hCG test is what you need.
Actually, prolactin is a hormone related to breast milk production and ovulation, not the primary marker for pregnancy. You need an hCG blood test or urine test for that.
No, it's not a pregnancy test. I had my prolactin checked before conceiving when I was regularizing my cycle with doctor-approved light yoga and walks. For pregnancy, do a urine test.
Haha no, prolactin test is for checking milk hormones or ovulation issues, not pregnancy! For pregnancy, you need a beta-hCG blood test or a simple home urine kit.
No, prolactin is generally done to check other hormonal issues. Please consult your doctor for proper pregnancy tests like blood hCG or ultrasound if you are suspecting.
