When to do saliva tests?
March 24 2009 at 6:07 AM Bree (no login)
I just got them the other day, but I don't know when I should take them. I'm menstruating right now. At what point in my cycle would be ideal for me to administer the tests?

Personally just to be on the safe side I would suggest calling the medical place where you ordered your tests from and asking them. I'm also going to do a saliva test. Can you please tell me where you ordered from? and roughly how much it was and how long till you get the results? thanks!

Hi Bree,
Depending on the test you might use them on different days of your cycle. I agree with Lena, the place you got them from might be able to shed some light.
In general, your estrogen level would peak on the day of ovulation. All of your hormones would be at their lowest during the first 3 - 5 days of your cycle - so I would say definitely don't use the tests then.
Just googled this site:

It seems to answer your questions rather well.
Best wishes,

I got my tests from John Lee MD/ ZRT Labs. It was actually recommended to me by waxingmoon, if I recall (and by the way, thank you so much for helping me out! You've been very kind). The instructions didn't say anything about waiting for a certain time period, which I found to be odd.
