I asked a nurse online and the reply I got was this: It is fine to test while menstrating. Might be a little messy is all. So there ya go.

Hmm.. but doesn't menstruating mean that you're not pregnant? Why do you need a test if you're menstruating?

What is the chance of pregnancy during menstruation?

It generally does not occur because a woman usually ovulates 14 days after menstruation, however it is not unheard of for women to become pregnant while on her period. The best way to determine your chances is to know exactly when you ovulate on a regular basis. You can buy home ovulation test kits at your local pharmacy to determine this.
