Hi there and thanks for the post

You are correct in saying that being on your period can raise the ca125 as it measures any inflammation in the pelvic region.

I think it is best to have the blood test done a week after your period to ensure a more accurate measurement.

I hope this helps.

Do get back in touch if you have more questions or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

Best wishes

Hi again,

If this appointment can't be changed then you are best to have the blood tests and let the gynaecologist know at the follow up if you were on your period when the test was done. try not to worry about it.
