Unknown: Salivary testing for hormones is not a conventional test, unless done specifically to look for cushings disease, as a one time test. I don't know what hormones they are testing or why, but i would be skeptical of any diagnosis that they come up with.

Call the lab: Look on the box or on the paperwork and call the lab that is doing the testing and they can tell you about the viability of the sample. (fyi: diagnos-techs lab is fully certified and one of the oldest and best for salivary hormone testing. There are others.) good luck.
