I had normal periods before i found out I was pregnant at 16 weeks. It can happen. I was extremely tired, too, which was my only symptom, and being in the middle of a move, it didn't make me think i was pregnant..

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.

I have heard that yes you can still have a period when you are pregnant. I don't know why, but it is possible. Fatigue is usually normal with periods and pregnancy, it's so hard to tell because pregnancy and PMS symptoms are so similar, it's hard to tell them apart without taking a test and confirming whether you are pregnant or not. I have 2 children of my own, but did not bleed while pregnant, but the symptoms of PMS (cramp, bloating, fatigue) can also sometimes be symptoms of pregnancy. See your doctor, or take a test.... I would recommend seeing the doctor though.... I took 2 tests when I was pregnant with my son before the second one confirmed I was in fact pregnant, so you cant always trust the store bought tests. I wish you the best.....

I knew a girl who kept getting her period and after 4 months of her regular period, she found out she was 4 months pregnant. Bleeding can occur during pregnancy.

You might be pregnant, my cousin went through the same thing but you may also be stressed out or depressed and not know it. Go talk to your Dr. or Gyno and see what they say. ( That is if a preg test test shows neg)

you probably have irregular periods. i wouldn't worry about it.
If you take medications or birth controls, it can affect your periods.
