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. This is because eating can affect certain hormone levels, so if you have eaten before taking your test, the results may not be accurate. Water however is fine.

If you have eaten before taking the test, don’t worry. Your kit has a shelf life of between 6 months and 1 year so you can always hold off until next month. If you eat before taking your test and have already sent it back to us, please just drop an email to customer service at info@hertilityhealth.com and let us know so we can inform you on next steps.
