E2 levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. For optimal interpretive accuracy, we recommend that salivary collection be performed approximately seven days post-ovulation, or in between ovulation and your anticipated next cycle. For precision ovulatory urine sticks are available from the chemist to know exactly when you ovulate.
If menstrual cycle tracking is not feasible, and you wish to proceed with the test please notify our office via email.
