A member asked:

Is it reliable to do a pregnancy test during menstruation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not needed: Ifr you are having a normal mentrual period, especially at the time it is due, why would you want a pregnancy test? A blood pregnancy test would be best as blood could contaminate a urine test and make it hard to interpret.
