I have a lot of symptoms of being pregnant. Probably bout 5 or 6 if not more. I have taken a pregnancy test and it came out postive. But then I started my period and then I took another test and it still came back positive. Is that possible to have your period? Or did I have a miscarriage?

better check with the doctor just to be sure. my grandmother was 3 months pregnant but still had her period during those months on a regular basis so she didn't know she was pregnant only after she fell off the stairs and the doctor told her she was pregnant for 3 mos already .

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 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 provider 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 the middle of your pregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby and clarify exactly when the baby is due.
Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy 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 probably will go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period.
Abnormal bleeding can also be a sign of ectopic or tubal pregnancy. 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 have an ectopic pregnancy. A tubal pregnancy can be life-threatening, and sometimes the only symptom is bleeding around the time your period is expected. Often, the period may be lighter than usual. Sometimes a home pregnancy test will be negative, and the pregnancy can only be detected by checking blood hCG levels.
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.

hello, i am in the same situation as you right now. but i did not take a test but i've been getting symptomes.Today i asked my parenting teacher if it was possible that you can have your periods and be pregnant at the same time and she said yes it is! Alot of ppl have their peroids till the end of their pregnancy. so i would say maybe you should start taking the vitamins and whatever u need to take to have an healty baby or you can go and see your doctor and she/he will make you take a urine test or a blood test and you will know right away if you are not. alright
good luck with everyhting!

i have had 3 miscarriages. if you bleed a whole lot at once then it is a miscarriage. yes, it is possible to be on your period the whole 9 months because my cousin was. go to a doctor and make 100% that you are pregnant. the doctor will let you know that some women have their periods the whole time they are pregnant.

Yes, Yes you can still be pregnant. This has happen to close relative. She was pregnant. For clarification, go to the dr office and take the blood test. I did. My baby is 7 months now. I do not want to discourage you but encourage you. I hope everything is fine. Best wishes.

Well, you its like a period... you should go to your doctor and get it confirmed first. Don't freak. Many women get spotting and may think they are having a period during the first stages of pregnancy. This is caused by the fetus attaching itself to the uterun wall.

Yes, actually it is possible. I know a few people personally who have had their period all throughout their pregnancy. However, it is also possible that you did have a miscarriage; you should definately see your doctor to be sure.

I would go to the gyno. If you had two pregnancy tests show positive - then that is more than enough reason to go get checked out!

Bleeding during pregnancy can e harmful for the child to say the least. SO contact your gynaecologist immediately. Do not delay.
