Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that it is preferable to give first day blood for Tuberculosis detection. But if your Menstrual bleeding is already started, you can give other day blood also.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
