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.

Hey, I got a positive test but my period started anyway! Huh? Since some HPT's are so sensitive, they can detect a pregnancy in its very early stages. Unfortunately, it's estimated that up to 50% of pregnancies are lost very early on. In the past, most women did not even realize they were pregnant-- their periods would arrive on time, or perhaps a day or two late. Now, women testing very early may get a positive test, but experience bleeding almost immediately afterwards. This is an early miscarriage, also referred to as a "chemical pregnancy." It is likely that you did conceive and the embryo implanted for a short time before dying. This miscarriage is "disguised" as a period because the bleeding happens right around the time you would expect your period. Because this is so common, you probably have nothing to worry about, medically speaking, if it happens to you once or twice (although it is still heartbreaking when it happens!) If, however, this happens to you more than a couple times, or in consecutive pregnancies, you should discuss it with your doctor, as this can signal a problem (which can oftentimes be corrected with minimal treatment.)

That said, it is also possible to experience some spotting or bleeding and still have a healthy pregnancy, so don't panic! It may be implantation bleeding (from your baby snuggling in your uterus for a nice long stay!) If you experience bleeding after a positive pregnancy test, you should call your doctor.

Answer 3

Yes you can be pregnant. Because you see your period that don't mean that you are not .Sometimes our body can play tricks on us .Its all depends on when you got pregnant, how far with in the month from your next period, did you get pregnant..Because if you was close up to the time your period suppose to come on ..it just was to late for your body to stop it.So your period would come on normal that month but the next month it would be different. You would see a spot or it would come on for a day and go off. or sometimes it would keep coming on until you are about 5 or 6 month...mines did...

Answer 4

You can be pregnant. There have been cases of people I know that have gotten their period and were pregnant. I advise you to go to the doctor and get a blood test.

Answer 5

You can have a monthly period and still be pregnant. I've had quite a few relatives that were on their periods the entire pregnancy and their was no need to be alarmed. However, it's wise to have the pregancy confirmed and etc.

Answer 6

Take it from someone who knows. I had peorids all the way thru my whole pregnancy. I would call my doctor if i were you. I was told by my ob that they were a peorids but in a different sort of way. The color of the blood is what u need to look at when this happens so it want be mislead as a misscarrage. Please let your doc be aware of what is happing. hope this helps!

Answer 7

many women will experience a lighter than normal period and actually be pregnant. It's not unusual. Try taking a pregnancy test

Answer 8

You could be in the early stages of a miscarriage or you could be experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. Go see your Dr. to find out for sure.

Answer 9

you can still be pregnant, i'm pretty sure... i remember something from health class saying that it's still possible for you to be pregnant if you get your period if you're impregnated only a couple days before... i'm not completely positive though...
