What is the first day of a fertility test?

Your fertility evaluation includes tests to evaluate the health of your ovaries. These tests include blood work, usually drawn early in your menstrual (typically days 2, 3 or 4). Sometimes an ultrasound of the ovaries is also done to look at the number of antral follicles (potential eggs for the month). At PNWF, we consider Day 1 of your cycle to be the first day of full menstrual flow that starts before 9:00pm. If full flow starts after this time, the next day is day 1. This does not include days of spotting.
