Has anyone noticed changes in tissue tension or relaxation of the tissues being measured in women during their period of ovulatory or menstrual phases?
Would measurements using the Myoton reflect changes in projected readings due to oedema (fluid retention) during these phases of a woman's cycle?
Has this even been measured or factored in to results- especially on abdominal tissues?
The link to some research I found, shows that strength is affected due to higher levels of oestrogen at mid-cycle.

Have the effects of the hormone 'Relaxin' been factored into anyone's research results conducted on women, just after ovulation? Would Relaxin noticeably affect Myoton measurements?
Thanks for any comments.
