Has anyone done this before? What are the chances of stool having blood if you are menstruating when collecting samples?
I've not had this exact thing but I've had a urine sample whilst on before and some blood did get in but they seemed to know what it was and discounted it as menstruation.
I doubt a stool sample would be affected too much though!!

You are not meant to use a FOBT until 3 days or longer since your period started because it can affect the resultsx

Whoops I did it anyway. I alredy had two days in the fridge and wasn't gonna wait. I've had rectal bleeding anyway (hence doing FOBT) so blood from period won't make much difference
