Period questions? We’ve got you covered.

We recommend avoiding testing while you’re actively menstruating, as menstrual blood can affect your sample by altering vaginal pH and impacting the accuracy of your results.

If your flow is light or spotting, you can still test, but for the most accurate results, it’s best to wait until your period has fully ended.
