Answer 1

Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Answer 2

I had my period regularly for the first 5 months of pregnancy -and had no idea I was pregnant - seriously. Just go get a test if you are wondering if you may be pregnant - the store tests (all brands) work fine. Then go to the doctor if you are since bleeding during pregnancy can be a sign of trouble during pregnancy also.

Answer 3

You most certainly can get your "period" while you are pregnant. Many women experience this and think they are not pregnant when they really are. If you think that you may be pregnant go buy a HPT and check it out. If you don't want to go spend a lot of money go to your local dollar store and pick one up, they are just as accurate if not more accurate than the name brand ones. All you are really paying for is the marketing =) Good luck!

Answer 4

yes u can still get period even if you are pregnant. once i was watching a tv show, this girl did not know she was pregnant because she was getting her period, but usually if u are pregnant you can still get period, but with less amount. that is why it is better to tell in the second month rather then the first month, because different women can have different reaction from their body.

Answer 5

well to be sure take a test. Yes it true some woman can have a regular period while prego, i had a friend who did. but its not common. Take a test if it comes up positive then go to your doctor asap. if its negative but still think you may be contact your doctor to do a blood test. Blood tests show up about 2 weeks earlier.

Answer 6

I have also heard that you can have a period while you are pregnant, but I would definately get in to see you doctor about it, just to make sure it is okay.

Answer 7

Some women have a menstrual cycle clear through delivery. If you're unsure, go to the doctor. No one will think any less of you for trying to ease your own mind. As a matter of fact, they'd rather you go in and ask questions than sit at home and stew about it... stress isn't good for you or your baby.

Answer 8

You may have been pg....then your "period" could be a miscarriage. I had implantation bleeding & you know the difference between the 2

Answer 9

You can still have your period and be pregnant. Life is confusing that way!

Answer 10

you can have you period up to 3 months after you've gotten pregnant
