Prolactin : Sounds like a very high prolactin. Mri of brain and pituitary with and without contrast can identify a growth. See an endocrinologist for treatment.

Repeat the prolactin: If you were pregnant, it is unlikely that the high prolactin is due to a tumor. Have it repeated fasting, first thing in the morning before you get an mri. The prolactin will go up with stress and a single test should be confirmed before going for an expensive test like an mri.

Need to see a specia: Your labs strongly suggest hypothalamic and/or pituitary dysfunction, which can be the result of your elevated prolactin due to the same problem as your elevated prolactin. The prolactin is too high to be caused by the medications mentioned or the stress of miscarriage. You will likely need an mri. I strongly suggest consulting a reproductive endocrinologist or a medical endocrinologist.
