Prolactin elevation: The modest elevation in prolactin is not a concern so soon after lactation has stopped. Depending on duration of lactation, it may take months for prolactin to normalize. TSH changes are also within expectations. Suggest you repeat in 6 months. Sooner if spontaneous lactation resumes.
