Will a home pregnancy test confirm whilst having period?

A home pregnancy test detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or blood. hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. However, it is not recommended to use a home pregnancy test while on your period, as the results may not be accurate. This is because the levels of hCG in your urine or blood may be lower during your period, which could lead to a false negative result. Additionally, the presence of blood in your urine or blood can interfere with the accuracy of the test.

It is generally recommended to wait at least one day after your missed period to take a home pregnancy test for the most accurate results. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it is best to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for a definitive answer.
