I received a job offer for a job last week & accepted it. I also suffer from PCOS & irregular cycles, & was prescribed Provara to help induce a period, which started laat Tues/Wed for me. I received an email from the job asking me to do the drug test this week, but can it be done if Im still on my cycle?? Im kind of worried that it's oing to negatively affect my test. I already told the HR rep that I could do it later this week b/c my period is normally no longer than 6 days but (CONTD)

They’re testing for controlled substances, not hormones. Provera is a prescribed hormonal medication and will not affect a standard employment drug test. Very different things.

Ask your doctor to confirm but no I don’t think any of this would affect your urine test.

It won't affect your urine. They are checking if you are taking drugs you aren't prescribed.

I had a hectic last three months working up to 16 hours a day due to my project. During this time I took advantage of convenient food which isn’t always the best. Now that things have died down I am having trouble switching from the less convenient food, snaking more than I should and not being as active as I was during the three months previously. I haven’t found what I need to motivate myself and I’m hoping that others could share what motivates them to get back into it after a hectic time
