Pregnancy Q and A Forum - Negative Test Until Period Stops?

Is it true that if you are pregnant, that a pregnancy test will not show up as positive until your period stops? So say you are 3 months pregnant, but you are still having your period every month, will the test show up as negative?

No, this is not true. If you are pregnant and still getting your period its probably because you have low progesterone. Pregnancy tests detect hcg.

A negative test plus a period probably mean you're not pg.

I'm pregnant, I know that for a fact. I was asking for a friend of mine who swears up and down that she is pregnant, yet continues to have negative tests and her period. I told her she was undoubtedly not pregnant, but determination is hard to overcome.

So it is possible to have your period and be pregnant, only if you have low progesterone?
