A prolactin test measures the amount of the hormone prolactin in your blood. High prolactin levels inhibit secretion of FSH. Therefore, if your prolactin levels are high, your ovulation may be suppressed. This is why women who are breastfeeding (and thus have high levels of prolactin) usually donât become pregnant.

In both men and women, testosterone is made in small amounts by the adrenal glands, and in women, by the ovaries.The pituitary gland controls the level of testosterone in the body. When the testosterone level is low, the pituitary gland releases a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) .This hormone tells the testicles to make more testosterone.
