Can you get a positive pregnancy test after your period?
By the 10th day from ovulation — usually the first day of your missed period — there is enough hCG in your urine for the store-bought pregnancy tests to detect it. Blood from your period will not impact whether or not there is hCG in your urine, so it won’t impact your test results.
