The best time is 3rd of your cycle ( 1st day is the onset of your cycle). This is when your results can be accurately interpretated.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING - DOUBLE MARKER (FIRST TRIMESTER) FMF APPROVED Test or Take a BETA CROSSLAPS Test

Would somebody explain to me my testosterone readings?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing sudden irregular periods (3 times in the last month), cystic acne on my chin, and weight loss over the past few months. My blood test revealed low iron (report attached). Could you please advise what might be the root cause of these symptoms? Could this be related to a hormonal imbalance? Is the iron deficiency due to internal bleeding or polyps?
