Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts.What is the best time to have the six hormone tests during menstruation?
