The timing depends on which hormones are being tested. FSH and LH are typically tested on day 2-5 of your cycle. Progesterone is usually tested on day 21 (or 7 days before your expected period). Oestradiol can be tested at various points. Your phlebotomist or requesting clinician will advise on the best timing.

Most hormone tests do not require fasting. However, cortisol and testosterone levels are highest in the morning, so an early morning blood draw is usually recommended for the most accurate results. Your phlebotomist will confirm any specific preparation requirements.
