Can you have your period while your pregnant?

Question

I was three weeks late for my period and I started last night. I have been pregnant before and I know all the signs. I had a few of them. Last night I started my period. Could I be pregnant and still have a period?

Answer 1

Hell Yes You Can. My step-mom had her period for 3 months before she found out she was pregnant with My Step-Brother. But Just to make sure you are okay if you're pregnant, go to the Doctor. That shouldn't even be a question in your mind, I'd just make an obstrictical emergency call.

Question: Can you be pregnant and still get your period?

Answer: Well, no, you can't get your period once you're pregnant — once your body starts producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and your pregnancy is established, your menstrual cycle is interrupted and normal periods will stop — but you may have bleeding or spotting during pregnancy that can seem like a period.

Some pregnant women have what's called "implantation bleeding" that can happen around the time their period is due, and they may mistake that bleeding for a period. This spotting may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of the uterus (a process that starts just 6 days after fertilization) and it's generally a lot lighter than a typical period — just a day or two of very light spotting.

If you're pregnant and you're not sure when your last period started, this can make establishing a due date difficult for your healthcare provider. If you have any doubts, your practitioner can feel how big your uterus is with a pelvic examination and estimate how far along you are. In most cases, your provider will also order an ultrasound before midpregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby to clarify exactly when the baby is due.

Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy go on to deliver without any complications, but bleeding can also be a cause for concern. It may be the first sign of a miscarriage; if so, your symptoms will probably go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period. If you have sharp pains in your lower abdomen, especially if the pain is only on one side, you should see your practitioner right way to find out if you may have an ectopic pregnancy (also known as a tubal pregnancy). Because of these potential complications, if you bleed at all early in your pregnancy, it's best to notify your doctor or midwife to get specific instructions. She may suggest getting a blood test to check your hCG levels or order an ultrasound to evaluate your condition more thoroughly.

Answer 3

Yes, for some women they still get their period while they are pregnant. It isn't like a normal period though, it will last for most of the pregnancy or it will be really light. So If i was you I would go to the doctor and find out for sure if you are pregnant, and if so then let him know about you being on your period, they will be able to let you know what to expect and what could happen. If you are then congratulations, if not then good luck to you.

Answer 4

Yes you can Spot while pregnant. Most women don't usually have a heavy period while pregnant. I would see a doctor. I was spotting while pregnant. I ended up miscarrying. Not trying to scare you. Though you should see a doctor. Good luck

Answer 5

Yes, you can have your period though your whole pregnancy. But it doesn't mean that your pregnant. As you get older your period Cecile will change and sometimes your bloating and cramping will get worse. But, the best advise is to go to the doctors to find out.

Answer 6

Yes you can have your period and be pregnant. But I suggest going to the doctor right away because it could be an indication of complication like tubal pregnancies and letting that go to long could be life threatening.

Answer 7

From past experience (not mine, friends of mine)

I know that it is possible to have a period while being pregnant.

The only way to know for sure would be to take a test.

Answer 8

You can still have a period while your pregnant. It's a sign of the placenta becoming dislodged from your uterus. I'd go to the Dr ASAP. It's still possible to have a healthy happy baby... Just so ya know ^.^
