Suggest Treatment For Hormonal Imbalance Due To Chronic Stress

Hi,
My doctor has suggested PRL/FSH/LH test for me, suspecting a hormonal imbalance due to chronic stress.

Now if i've taken ipill one day ago(say yesterday 3rd Sept) , after how much time should i take these hormone tests so that they come out with real figures(and not influenced by ipill)

Thanks!

It is best to give at least two weeks gap. I pill is a high concentration progesterone and it can may affect the FSH/LH levels.
Ideal to do these tests on the second or third day of the periods before 9 am in the morning in fasting.
