A member asked:
On bc pills. prolatcin & cortisol elevated, don't want to stop the bc pills. what are my options? is this serious?

Don't stop. See doc.: All hormones are excreted in a pulsatile fashion and knowing how and when these levels were drawn and exaclty how high they were are very important to the interpretation. For that reason, the person who drew these labs should be responsible for explaining them.
