On what day of my menstrual cycle should I collect my saliva, urine, blood or blood spot hormone profile on?

If you do not have menstrual cycles you can collect the sample on any day.This would include women with hysterectomy, amenorrhea (abnormal absence of menses in women of reproductive age) and/or uterine/endometrial ablation (destruction of the uterine lining).

• If you have a ‘normal’ menstrual cycle then you should collect on day 19, 20 or 21 (counting the 1st day of bleeding as day 1)

• If you have irregular or unpredictable menstrual cycles you can collect any day they are not bleeding.

• If you have some kind of cycle regularity but not at the typical lengths, you should follow these guidelines for collection: Long cycles – test at day 19-21 or from day 19 to 5 days prior to when the period is expected.For example, if the cycle is 35 days, collection can be done anytime between day 19 to day 30.

• Short cycles – collection should be done a couple of days prior to when bleeding starts.For example, someone with 14 day cycles should collect on day 12.
