Hello there. Yes definitely your prolactin levels are high and they can be one of multiple reasons for your inability to conceive. A high prolactin level makes a hostile environment in the uterus for the sperm to enter and fertilize the egg. Increased prolactin level is due to overactivity of your pituitary gland. First of all i would suggest you not to stess excessively. This often causes pitutary gland overactivity. Other than this there are many causes. I will not completely blame prolactin as the soul culprit as its levels are high but not that high. Because in a lactating mother it can go upto as high as 230+. I am sure your gyenacologist must be doing all what should be done but anyhow i would like to suggest a few tests. If done already well and good. Blood test for Thyroid profile, tubal patency test, ultrasonography abdomen to rule out PCOD etc.
