High prolactin could also mean you're having too much E2 in an HrT program.
I have always had my blood drawn around the same time, mid morning, i did consider how prolactin is highest during sleep so tend to get up a bit earlier on days of blood tests, yes my t is low, generally around 0.5 - 0.7 nmol/l which is to be expected on the gnrh analogues, liver function & thyroid have always come back fine, stress well plenty of that at times but i think i have it under control at the moment, you may remember me asking before whether finasteride can increase dopamine, well im still on the finasteride, my e2 levels have been pretty rubbish tbh at around 80pg/ml on 8mg oral e2 (4mg twice a day), i really want to try injections later in the year and see if that works for me
