When in my cycle should I have blood drawn?
For most hormone measurements, day 3 to 5 of the cycle (counting from the first day of menstruation) is standard. For progesterone measurement in the second half of the cycle, day 21 (or 7 days before expected menstruation) can be informative. We provide context alongside your values in the report.
Do I need to fast?
Fasting is not required for hormones, but we recommend having your blood drawn in the morning between 8 and 10 o'clock for the most stable picture.
What if I take the pill or other hormonal contraception?
Hormonal contraception affects most of these values, the measurement will mainly reflect the effect of the medication rather than your natural cycle. Please let us know so we can take this into account.
Is this package suitable for men?
No, this package is designed for women. For men, the Essential Hormones Male package is available.
What if I am going through the menopause?
