Yes, you can take a pregnancy test while you are on your period, but it may not be as accurate as taking the test at another time.
Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine or blood. This hormone is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
During your period, the level of hCG in your body may be too low for the test to detect. However, if you have irregular periods or bleeding during early pregnancy, it is possible that you could still have enough hCG in your system to be detected by a pregnancy test.
If you take a pregnancy test during your period and it is negative, you may want to take another test a few days later or wait until your next missed period to confirm the results. If you have concerns about pregnancy or your menstrual cycle, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.
