Hi,
I completed a qFIT test recently and began to menstruate 24 hours later. I was not menstruating when I did the test. But my score has come back as >200. Could my period have contributed to this in any way?
thanks

Yes I believe it does affect results, same with if urine contaminates a sample.
they’ll either request you do another, or you’ll be referred now onto the U2WW screening for further tests eg colonoscopy.
that’ll then give specialists further answers.
hopefully that helps as it’s normal to worry when we receive abnormal results!

Hi there and thanks for the post
I am sorry to hear you are currently undergoing some tests, this must be a worrying time for you.
Taking a FIT test whilst on a period may affect the result, although as it was the following day you started we can't say if this may have affected the result.
It is best to discuss it with your doctor or the hospital team, if you have now been referred to ask them.
I hope you know more about your situation soon and that everything works out okay for you.
Take care
Naomi
