A member asked:
Does being on orthocyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) increase my prolactin and cortisol? can those elevated levels go back to normal all on thier own, with no meds?

Well, make sure: You are in contact with an endocrinologist. There are workups that need to be done. It's not from the ocp though. F/u with your doc. Cortisol fluctuates so it matters when it was drawn and how, prolactin, if elevated, needs to be discussed with ur doc. I assume they drew them for a reason. Good luc.
