Hi there,

I don't think hormonal imbalance should interfere with hcg test for pregnancy. Infact, any progesterone challenge test should ideally be preceeded by a pregnancy test.

And also hormonal changes do occur in normal pregnancy also. So any pregnancy would have interfered with this test.

So, in my opinion, you can go ahead with the test.

Hope I was able to help.
