A member asked:

Is it okay to take a pregnancy test while your on your period? and will i get accurate results if i was to do so...?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to do it: If you are having a period, you could not be pregnant. The proper time to do a pregnancy test is 4-5 after a missed period. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test.
