Test information: Fasting not necessary, but preferred
Reporting: Within 12 hours*
- Fasting is generally not required unless specifically advised by your doctor.
- For women, FSH and LH tests are usually recommended during the early days of the menstrual cycle (typically Day 2–5), as advised by your doctor.
- Prolactin testing is preferably performed in the morning after resting for 15–30 minutes, as stress, lack of sleep, and strenuous exercise may temporarily increase prolactin levels.
- TSH can be tested at any time of the day, but if you are taking thyroid medication (such as levothyroxine), follow your doctor's instructions regarding the timing of the blood sample.
- Inform your doctor about your menstrual history, fertility concerns, pregnancy, breastfeeding status, menopause, thyroid disease, or any history of pituitary or hormonal disorders.
- Tell your doctor about any current medications, thyroid medicines, hormone therapy, oral contraceptive pills, fertility treatment, antidepressants, or supplements such as biotin, as these may affect test results.
- Carry previous hormone test reports, thyroid function tests, ultrasound reports, MRI scans (if any), or fertility investigations, if available.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
