Hi,
There is little confusion in your question regarding the time of test to be performed. Anyhow according to your history the possibilities are:
- PCT test: if it is on 16th and 17th day of menstrual cycle can, then possibly post coital test which is performed to test the reaction of the cervical mucus to spermatozoa.
- PCT test: If the test is advised 13 days after ovulation possibly it could be a pregnancy confirmation test, which is done to confirm the pregnancy.
- PCT test: Procalcitonin test is done to confirm the infection in the body. This may not be the test mentioned by your doctor.
Please discuss these things with your doctor and proceed according to her advice.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
