Do I need to fast before taking the test?

We recommend collecting your sample first thing in the morning before breakfast, as you will have fasted for at least 8 hours overnight. Eating can affect certain hormone levels, so if you have eaten before taking your test, the results may not be accurate. Please only drink water before taking the test to help your blood flow whilst collecting your sample. 

If you have eaten before taking the test, don’t worry. Your kit has a shelf life of 1 year so you can always wait until next month. If you have eaten before taking your test and have already sent it back to us, please contact the Customer Care team so we can advise you further.
