Can you do the T3T4 test after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Did you take emergency contraception pills? Can you do T3T4 tests on the third day?

Doctor's answer:

I would be happy to help clarify your situation. Based on your description of your condition, after taking emergency contraception, you should temporarily avoid getting T3T4 tests. T3T4 elevation is a primary indicator for suspecting hyperthyroidism, but it is not the only one, as pregnancy and oral contraceptives can also cause elevation. I recommend that you go to a regular, Level 3, Class A hospital in a few days to have your blood drawn for T3T4 tests. Pay attention to resting and avoid overworking, as well as keeping a relaxed mood.
