What is the connection between prolactin levels and lactational amenorrhea? A woman contacted me for her friend saying that she is breastfeeding 21 month twins, has not had a period yet and her prolactin level is normal. Her doctor is concerned that the level is normal but she has not menstruated yet. I have the book "Making More Milk" and based on the info in there, maybe the woman's level was not checked at the ideal time with respect to the last nursing session. The woman also has a history of PCOS. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much,
Gina Peterson, BS, IBCLC
