Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query,

If you are actively menstruating it is very unlikely that you could be pregnant.

If you are having normal bleeding the flow will be moderate sure you could repeat another pregnancy test after your period is over. The best time to test is in the morning with a full bladder. If the test is again positive I suggest you ask your physician for a blood test to confirm.

I hope I have adequately answered your concern. I am available for your followups.
