So I did a quick google search and didn't find much info on whether testing during a woman's menstrual cycle would affect hydrostatic body fat testing. Anybody super smart and can give me an answer?

If I get any "eeeewwww, gross" comments from the guys, I will bite you. :devil:

    water retention varies through the cycle so it will be representative of that stage - if you repeat it try to match it.
