Will I get accurate results if I am on Oral Contraceptives or Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Your results will accurately reflect your hormone levels while on your current medications. Oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy affect hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, FSH, and LH — so your results will look different than they would if you were not taking these medications.

Important exceptions: For the Ovarian Reserve Test and Perimenopause Test, we do not recommend collecting a sample if you are currently taking hormones of any kind (including oral contraceptives). This instruction is also noted in your kit materials.

• Do not stop hormone therapy without first consulting your physician.
• If discontinuing hormone therapy under your provider’s guidance, wait 6 weeks before collecting your sample.
