Why do you want to repeat the test? It is not a routine test. You can do it anytime. But the values will be different accordingly and need to be correlated with your symptoms/lifestyle/pregnancy status/ ongoing medications

Prolactin test can be done any day after 2 days of abstinence and avoidance of nipples stimulation
Next Steps
It is not related to periods time dear . Though we usually take it along with other tests on day 2 of periods just to avoid multiple pricking of the patient
Health Tips
Take lots of water and and Destress. Stress and thyroid also affect Prolactin levels
