Vibrant uses the most advanced method to accurately measure Urine Hormone Metabolites.
How should I prepare for this test?
To prepare for the Urinary Hormone Metabolites test, men, children, and non-menstruating women may collect any day of the month. Menstruating women should collect samples according to the following schedule: Regular Cycles: Collect on day 19, 20, or 21 of the menstrual cycle. (Day 1 = first day of your period). Irregular Cycles: Collect 5 days before your period begins. Unpredictable Cycles: Collect any day when not bleeding. Other hormone therapies: Test halfway between therapies with patches, vaginal rings, pellets, or injectables. Avoid using hormones vaginally up to 72 hours before collection. Talk to your healthcare provider about steroid use and appropriate timing. If you miss a collection timing, collect at the same time the next day and label appropriately. Fast for 2-3 hours before each collection to ensure accurate cortisol measurements.
