Re: Saliva collection timing questions

[Guest guest]

I took mine right at the times it said, actually started a bit early.

It takes time to fill those tubes with all that spit.

If you wake up at 645, taking the 7-8am one would be perfect, simply

start spitting at 7am, and you'll have the tube filled by 8am or

before.

For the midnight one, thats what I did, I started filling it at 11pm,

and then was done about 1130 (the saliva seems to come out better at

night for me)and went to bed. It was a late night, but well worth it

to see the results.

Or, if you cannot stay awake that long, do it right before you go to

bed... I think it'd be close enough.

The thing is to get the four tests evenly spaced out throughout the

day, and the night one will reveal if you have problems with rising

cortisol at night, like many AF suffers do.

Good Luck

Your regular schedule will work perfectly for the testing so I would take thr

7-8AM draw at 7-8AM etc.
