The prolactin test will be to rule out a problem with your pituitary gland as a potential cause of your issues. It doesn’t mean they think there’s a problem, they just need to check everything so they can exclude various possible conditions from your diagnosis.

TFT is a thyroid test. Again, just checking to make sure your thyroid is functioning normally and is not the source of your issues.

Now I'm taking Norethisterone (10mg) 2 tablet per day. So this tablet affect this blood test report?

I’m not a doctor but I don’t see any reason for it to. Your doctor will know what drugs you are taking and will be able to interpret the test results anyway.
