hello there,
kindly relax.
high prolactin level can be seen in thyroid or pituitary gland (it's located in brain and is the control center of many hormones in our body) problems, infertility and not fertility can be one of the result of high prolactin.
I would request you to get TFT, USG of whole abdomen done too along with MRI brain and discuss them with your doctor.
