Brief Answer:
yes you may, explained how ...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
there is no problem in getting a urine test done even on the second day of menses provided the urine should not be contaminated with the menstrual blood and it should be a clean catch urine as in you should collect the sample in the middle of urination process so that there are lesser chances of menstrual blood contamination.
