Blood tests
| Sat, 08-25-2007 - 9:51am |
Hi there. I am due to go for blood tests on day 3 of my period for estradiol, FSH, TSH, varicella and rubella igg antibody, CBC, CMV, Hgb. Problem is day 3 in tomorrow - Sunday when the laboratories are closed. I'm assuming Monday morning is better than going today but I can't check with my doctor as the office is closed today! My period came Friday but I didn't have a whole day of "complete flow". I may be making too much of this but I don't know much about it and want to feel confident that I get the tests done at the best time. Any advice and opinions on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello and Welcome!
This is the frustrating part...life doesn't only happen on business days.
This happened to me as well when I was using a doctor who didn't work every day.

I have heard that you can actually take those tests on CD2-CD4 and get accurate results. Especially since it sounds like you got AF in afternoon/evening on Friday, it should be OK-- just go first thing in the AM, and let them know it is CD4.
Thankfully both my regular hospital labs/docs and RE are open 7 days a week. Sorry you have to deal with this.
