Question: my daughter who is 24 had a blood test for all hormones and came back with a high prolactin? I feel she maybe heading into my troubles where I was infertile myself until IVF technology enabled me to have successful pregnancies. I have had a depressional illness for some 40+ yrs but only been medicated the last 15yrs... I feel she may have inherited my genes. the dr wants her on anti=depressants or wait another round of blood tests in 2 months and then check her ovaries with an ultrasound. the pill is an option also.. but she has come off being on the pill 9yrs

my daughter was on a pill (microgyn 30/50's)for 9 yrs for acne on her face and has come of it and is getting the return acne. She was using antibotic cream to control the acne but found it dried out her skin. At present she is a 4th year student doing high school teaching and Arts degree. She is going on an Art trip to Europe (in 3 weeks)but her menses have been a problem in that they come only for a day or so and anywhere from 28 to 35 days as a cycle. The dr had suggested she try get her stress levels down, go on anti-depressants as a result that dopamine maybe effectd by the high prolactin. She doesn't really want to go on the pill again to have a regular cycle. (I understand that because that was suggested to me(28yrs) but the pill drove me into irratic behaviour) I want to save her from that. She is doing a block of prac teaching in July/August/September a 4 hr drive from where she lives. She feels with having no set time of when to expect her menses or for how long they appear for will affect her work load. Thanks I appreciate your time n experience
