Thyroid testing

Hi I stupidly ran out of meds over Christmas and didn’t take any for 5 days. I’m meant to have a thyroid test to see if I’m on the right level- how long should I wait before testing, will those five days make a huge difference?

Thanks

Yes is simple answer. 6 weeks minimum on constant dose is usual recommendation
