So, I'm having a saliva hormone panel done. Does it matter if I'm in the middle of my cycle? I want the results to be real and not affected by the increase in hormones during this time.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If you are pre-menopause, you MUST do your saliva test on days 19-21. It should be writting in the instructions that come with the kit. [Smile]

yes, if you are still getting periods, then you do the test between the 19-21st day after your period. The date of your period counts as day one. There should have been instructions in your kit. You want to make sure you start spitting in the tubes within 30 minutes of awakening, too.
