Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

High prolactin would affect ovulation and would definitely cause conception problems.
High prolactin can be caused by (1) tumors in the pituitary gland releasing prolaction (2) side effect of some medications (3) low thyroid hormone levels

If there is a reversible cause that can be found and treated then this would help

Parlodel is safer than carbeline if you are trying to conceive.

I hope this helps
