A member asked:

Hi, i should do a thyroid hormone test because my doctor thinks i have hypothyroidism. i'm on my menstruation period right now, is it a problem?thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: Blood tests to assess thyroid status may be done at any time, regardless of one's menstrual cycle. Also, one need not fast before the blood tests.
