"Hook Effect": I hope you are seeing an endocrinologist or someone who specializes in this field. Just because your prolactin measured "normal" does not mean it is. Without getting technical, if the level is high enough, it messes up the standard test and a special dilutional test needs to be done, there is something called macroprolactinemia which also may measure odd and several other lesser causes even all nl
