yes, I have been told that it could be the same as a regular cycle or less than a regular cycle. If it is more, see your dr

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.

Yes! I had mine until I was 5 months along with #1 and until I was 3 months along with #2. The menses w/#1 were like I always had but they were lighter during#2. I was told it has to do with how the baby is positioned and where the placenta is attached.

I don't know the answer but I'm so happy that someone here can spell and use words like menses.

This is what I just found out today. There is a possibility that you are miscarrying. It all comes down to how much is going into your pad and how frequent you are changing it. This is a concern to bother your OB or practitioner on. If they cant be reached then go straight to the E.R.

yes it is possible. I got my period over the weekend and today I found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I'm feeling all the pregnancy symptoms and wearing pad! Just let you know if you suspect that you are pregnant...Do NOT wear tampons...Dr. told me that it isn't safe.

No it isn't. Your meses is the lining of your uterus shedding because you were not impregnated. If you were pregnant the egg and sperm would attach to the wall of the uterus providing astable growing env't for a fetus and you would not shed it.
