If you’re on your period, you may be worried that your menstrual blood may impact test results. Thankfully, it generally does not matter where you are in your cycle when getting tested in our Yoxly lab. Menstrual blood will not typically affect your test result.
It is recommended that you don't avoid getting tested due to being on your period, as if you do have an STI, the longer it goes untreated the more complications can arise. However, it is up to you if you’d rather wait until your period is finished before taking your sample.
