As you evaluate your perimenopause status, it’s important for you to know that your hormone test results will be influenced by medications you take, including hormonal birth control, hormonal IUDs, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and supplements – especially those designed to manage perimenopause symptoms.
If you use one or more of these medications, the results you receive will reflect the effect of these medications on your body, not the underlying state of your body. In addition to affecting the Proov hormone tests, these medications will also impact your menstrual cycle and your symptoms. Please evaluate carefully whether you are taking any of these medications and remember that they may impact your results.
