Pregnant? Your hormones are on a completely different adventure right now – they're busy growing a human, which means they'll be way outside normal ranges. The test won't give you useful insights about your baseline health, so it's best to wait until after you've given birth and your cycle has returned.
Breastfeeding? Similar story here. Breastfeeding hormones (like prolactin) are doing their job of maintaining milk production, which suppresses your other reproductive hormones. Your results won't reflect your normal hormonal picture until you've weaned and your periods have come back.
If you're dealing with concerning symptoms during either time, it's worth chatting with your GP or our nurse team about what might be going on.
