See a doctor. You should see one every month any way.

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.

Have you had a positive pregnancy test? If so, how far along do you think you are? Bleeding heavy enough to produce clots is not an encouraging sign. You'd better take a test to find out for sure, then followup with your doctor if you are pregnant to see if the fetus is still viable or if you have miscarried.

Yes it is. Your period will be as you described it though: light, and not really normal. Do you still have the other symptoms of pregnancy? Unless you feel ill or your doctor's visits are completely covered by insurance, I'd say just wait it out.
Then, I'm not a doctor and I have no authority to say so. You follow my advice at your own risk, as always.

You can ALWAYS get pregnant, it's just unlikely. It depends on when you ovulate. Usually it's 14 days after the end of your menses, but it varies, everyones different. I know all of this because i had sex in november and i was towards the end of my period. I'm still a little worried, but ive had negative tests and a period after that. I reallly hope you're not, because i know how you feel.<3

Sounds like either you just got your period, or your having a early miscarriage. I don't think you'd still be pregnant, if you were.

i dont think so, your period is getting rid of the protective lining that the baby is in durning pregnancy. so if your on your period, then chances are your baby came out with the lining.
