could you be pregnant while having your period?

Question

i mean can u get your period and be pregnant at the same time....but how do you know if you are

Answer 1

I knew someone who went to the hospital with acute abdominal cramps and left there with a baby that she never expected. She did not miss a period nor was it irregualar in any other way and she was overweight so she never realized she was showing. I asked her if she ever felt kicks and she said when she thought back about it she did feel them a few times but thought they were gas. Apparantly this was genetic because when her mother learned she was pregnant for her she was told that she was only 3 months along and then went to the doctor a week later fearing a miscarriage and had her full-term daughter at that time.
So, it happens but I don't think it is all that common.

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.

You can get pregnant on your period because i did but miscarried at 5 weeks.
Take a pregnancy test. Good luck!

Answer 3

Some people have a light period all the way through their 9 months of pregnancy. Just about anything's possible.

You'll know you're pregnant because the period should be different. A lot of women don't know for a few months, so don't feel bad about it, if you are just finding out.

If you want to know for sure, take a test.

Answer 4

It has happened but its VERY unlikely,usually doctoirs dont call it a period but abnormal spotting during pregnancy..heavy regular bleeding like a normal period is unusualy but light bleeding almsot like a period is ok...If u take a test it comes out negative and your bleeding then u arent pregnant,whether ur bleeding or not the test will be right...a period is nothing more than your egg that dyed and is passing through your body,,u cannot ovulate while pregnant...which therefore,no period..

Answer 5

No, because your period is the sloughing off of the lining of your uterus, which is what the developing baby is attached to and needs to be nourished with, so pregnancy cannot occur at the same time. The baby would be flushed out with the period!

Answer 6

I had two periods even though I was pregnant with my daughter. It didn't hurt her and the doctor said that it was quite normal but it threw her due date off quite a bit!

Sure thats very possible. I think I got my period while I was pregnant thats why I really didnt know. I know someone who got it every month through her whole pregnancy. Thats strange but true
