A member asked:

Can u get pregnant 4days before u are suppose to start ur next period? also if the period doesn't start would a test show if ur pregnant or not?

LESS LIKELY BUT/: 4days before your periods, you are less likely to get pregnant but it is possible in rare cases.Yes if you miss your period it will show as a positive test for pregnancy.
