http://www.conceivingconcepts.com/learning/articles/prolactin.html Hi...you will have a better picture on this issue with the below. Hyperprolactinemia does not directly cause miscarriage. However, Hyperprolactinemia may contribute to luteal phase defect. The luteal phase is a part of the menstrual cycle. It is the time between ovulation and the start of the next period. Most of the time, the luteal phase lasts for between 10 and 14 days. If your luteal phase lasts less than 10 or more than 14 days, it is referred to as a luteal phase defect. If you conceive and you have a luteal phase defect, you may an early miscarriage. This is because that a luteal phase defect cannot sustain a pregnancy because the uterine lining in these women begins to break down, bringing on the menstrual bleeding and causing an early miscarriage. http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/441.html
