How long should you give after stopping the contraceptive pill before being able to accurately do hormone blood tests? been on pill for 10 yrs
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends upon: which of your body's thousands of hormones you mean, but if you mean reproductive hormones, generally stay off several weeks and retest once normal menses resume. Check w/your ob/gyn
