A member asked:
Will being on menstrual cycle affect my mammogram?

No. If you mean that you are now bleeding from your menstruation, that will not affect the mammogram results. Wish you good health!

I doubt seriously that where you are in your cycle should affect the mammography results, but the facility may have rules affecting mammography studies.
