A member asked:

Can estrogen and progesterone tests be done if a person has been on bcp that has ethinylesteadiol and drospirenone for the last one month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you have been off of ocp for 1 month, this can be checked if needed. Otherwise hormonal levels can be affected by ocp once you are on them.
