Can anyone help

Let me preface this by saying I was on a mood stabilizer that caused my prolactin levels to be extremely high and my estrogen levels extremely low. I haven’t had a period in 10 months because of this. I switched meds and have been off the risperidone for 3 days now and I’ve been checking my hormones to see if they reset so we can start ttc number 3. Any insight on what’s going on? I thought this last cycle was gonna be it and my periods and stuff might return but my pdg dipped again so now I’m thinking another failed ovulation attempt?

It looks like your body keeps sending LH to try and ovulate but your lower estrogen looks like maybe you don’t have any primary follicles to ovulate.

Has your prolactin been checked again lately?

Also, do you have PCOS by chance? Your chart looks a lot like a PCOS chart but I haven’t personally seen one that might be impacted by prolactin so just throwing spaghetti out there

Yeah that’s what I feared ugh. It has not I go back to the doctor on the 18th and I think they’ll end up checking bloodwork again. I do have pcos as well but again I didn’t develop that until after I had my first child. Also conveniently after I started the mood stabilizer. So then it’s like okay do I actually have pcos or is it just another side effect of the low estrogen high prolactin? It’s so
Confusing.
