Hi Sweets,
I wouldn’t worry too much either, if it is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis it's treatable, I’ve had it (hashimoto’s) for 30+ years. I linked the science article below as it's relatable to your situation.
Hyperprolactinemia with Galactorrhea Due to Subclinical Hypothyroidism: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Also, progesterone inhibits prolactin production, and is also inhibited by dopamine too. Plus there's other natural ways of lowering prolactin. It is true when prolactin is high growing breasts are less likely to occur.
Funny thing, stimulating estradiol enhances pituitary sensitivity, but indirectly though. Meaning it stimulates GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) which is essentially the first step of the pituitary telling FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) to produce estrogen and testosterone. I'll save this conversation for a later time though, it's gets complicated.
Am I still pursuing breast growth? I am not, I haven't for the last 4 or 5 years, there's no need in my opinion. For me, I'm focused on my health, at 62yrs old growing breasts are not a priority. After the back surgery earlier this year I gained weight, since then I've lost 75lbs in the last 7 months, I have 2 more months of weight loss to hit my goal weight of 140lbs. I eat healthy, avoid carbs, and combine it with intermittent fasting and it works for me. During the weight-loss though I lost 2 inches on top, which is okay by me. If I lose another 2 inches (or more) on my way to 140lbs I'll be okay with that too. Sweets please let me know how the test results comeback. ?
It's so good talk to you again Sweets.

Here's some photos from the other day. The b/w picture is from 2014 using NBE. I've been on HRT since 2014.

If anyone wants to follow my story I'm at www.breastnexum.com @ Project X (hrt) since August of 2013. I promise you won't turn to stone if you join Breastnexum, you don't have to post anything, there's some 455 pages of information in that Project X-thread. But, there's still plenty of information/breast research I've posted there at Breastnexus with plans to be more active here.
