How to prepare?

Prepare for your Super-helfy® Female Blood Test by following these instructions:

• Timing: Please take your sample before 10am. If you have an unusual sleep pattern (e.g., shift worker), take this test within 2 hours of waking.
• Health Condition: Take this test when any symptoms of short-term illness have settled.
• Medications: Corticosteroid medication can affect this test; ask your doctor whether to stop before testing.
• Hormone Products: If you use hormone gels, patches, or tablets, use gloves when administering these products. Ensure your fingers have not been in contact with hormone supplements for at least four weeks before the test.
• Supplements: Take this test before any medication or vitamin/mineral supplements. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test; discuss this with your doctor if prescribed.
• Contraception: Hormonal contraception can affect this test; taking a break and using barrier contraception will give more accurate results. If you stop taking the pill, wait until your periods resume their normal cycle before testing. AMH levels fluctuate minimally throughout the menstrual cycle, so taking the test at any point will give valid results. However, if you have regular periods and are tracking your results over time, we recommend taking the test between days two and five of your cycle for consistency or following guidance from your fertility specialist.
