Blood Drug Testing

Does being in your periods affect blood test results?

I have to go for a blood draw tomorrow for insurance purposes and I just started my periods today. Does menstruation affect the results of blood tests conducted as part of routine physical check up? Oh, and my periods also make me pig out on pizza and brownies so my blood test tomorrow is going to make it look like I'm totally unhealthy even though I hit the gym three times last week, isnt it?

1. Sometimes being on your period can make your Iron low. I doubt that would happen though. As far as what you ate...unless they are checking your for diabetes...they won't know...As long as your sugar isn't high...you will be fine. If I were you, I would stop worrying. Good Luck.
