Prolactin Levels & Prolactin Testing. Prolactin is a hormone that plays a role in fertility by inhibiting follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), the hormones that trigger ovulation and allow eggs to develop and mature.
(The exception is a molar pregnancy, which may require that you wait six months to a year before trying again.) A study published in 2015 looked at women in four health centers around the U.S. who were trying to conceive after a pregnancy loss.
You're most likely to conceive if you have sex during the two days before you ovulate and on the day of ovulation. That way, it's more likely there will be a healthy supply of sperm in your fallopian tubes when an egg is released. See our article on how babies are made for more information on how conception works.
