Will hormonal contraceptives affect the result of a women's health test?

Hormonal contraceptives include both oral contraceptives (the pill) and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs). These prevent pregnancy by releasing hormones, particularly estrogen and progestin. Therefore, yes, hormonal contraceptives may affect some results in the women's health tests. Please consult with your health care provider to determine if your current contraceptive will affect your test results.
