How To Prepare
No special preparation is required before having an estrogen test.
Tell your health professional if you:
- Are menstruating. Note where you are in your menstrual cycle.
- Are using birth control pills, patches, or rings and other forms of hormonal birth control.
- Are or might be pregnant.
Talk to your health professional about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will indicate. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?) .
