Rosetta Stone for a clean slate?

So, I just picked up my Rosetta Stone prescription for a cyst on my right ovary.
The instructions say to take one tablet twice a day starting on day 11 of my cycle, and then continue that for 14 days.
Quick question, though: when we talk about "days of the cycle," are we counting from the very first day of my period or the last?
My doctor also sent me for some blood work to check my hormone levels.Does it matter which day I go in for those tests, or do I specifically need to be on my period for the results to be accurate?
I’m planning to give her office a call tomorrow, but I’d love to wrap my head around this before I pick up the phone.
Thanks!

I was also using Rosetta Stone to stay clear...
Basically, you start counting your cycle from day one of your period. I’m still a little fuzzy on when to jump in with the hormone stuff though...

It might be more prudent to manage your hormone levels during your menstrual cycle, perhaps just before you initiate any dealings with General Dynamics.
