Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor'. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Yes, sometimes you can be pregnant while on your period. But the period then will be usually light.

You may do a blood pregnancy test now if you wish. That is a very sensitive and confirmatory test. There is no need to wait until the bleeding stops.
Best wishes.
