Answer 2

Many women report getting what seem like regular periods during early pregnancy. How can this be? First of all, it helps to realize that since the hormones of pregnancy totally prevent ovulation, the bleeding is not truly a menstrual period, but rather early pregnancy bleeding. That said, the perception of having a menstrual period (or more than one) in early pregnancy can confuse the due date and delay some pregnant women from seeking appropriate and timely medical care.

Implantation bleeding
Many mothers-to-be get a few days of bleeding right around the time that the early embryo is burrowing into the wall of the uterus. On average, this occurs five days after conception and may be confused with an early period, especially if the woman is not keeping close track of her cycles.

This implantation bleeding is normal and is not a sign of any problem with the pregnancy. The biggest problem with implantation bleeding is that it can lead to a mistakenly later due date if it is counted as a menstrual period. The real last period from which the due date should be calculated would be the prior one.

Conceiving while using birth control pills
Women who get pregnant while on the Pill might have intermittent bleeding before it is obvious that they are pregnant and they stop taking their pills. The calculation of the due date based on these episodes will most likely be inaccurate, so ultrasound is almost always needed to date a pregnancy in this situation.

Early pregnancy bleeding
Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common occurrence, but this does not signal a true menstrual cycle, as pregnancy hormones prevent the ovary's release of an egg as well as the buildup and subsequent shedding of the uterine lining. If these episodes are intermittent, they can be perceived as periods, and the mother-to-be may not recognize that she is pregnant. In instances where a couple is unaware that they are expecting, it can be particularly emotionally challenging to find out about the pregnancy at the same time they are told that the bleeding might signal a problem.

Go to the doctor and have a blood test done to see. I have had my period throughout my pregnancy. I am now 23 weeks.

Answer 3

I had my period for the first 3 months, I was 13 weeks pregnant when I found out. For some reason even though I hadn't missed a period yet I had a gut feeling I was pregnant. The home pregnancy tests I took all were negative (I took 4), so I went to the doctor to be sure. The test the doctor did came back positive, because I was yet to miss a period she sent me for an ultrasound to see how far along I was and give me a due date. This showed that I was in fact 13 weeks and it was then when my pregnancy was confirmed that my periods stopped.

Answer 4

A friend of mine just found out she is 6 months pregnant! She had no idea because she kept getting her period the whole time. She found out when she went to the gyno for her yearly check up and the doctor felt her enlarged uterus. They sent her for an immediate ultrasound. She's having a girl. So, yes some people still get periods or bleed when prengnat. I'm 22 weeks pregnant myself and my period stopped immediately but I have had 3 instances of slight spotting. Hope this is the kind of info you were looking for.

Answer 5

It is possible. It has never happened to me, but it did happen to my best friend. We used to go out to concerts and were drinking having a good time.

One night she was feeling really sick at a Keith Whitley concert. It was her birthday. She still felt terrible 2 days later and found out that she was 3 months pregnant.

She had a period for the last 2 months. She was so scared that something would be wrong with the baby since she was drinking.

He turned out perfect and smart as can be. He's graduating high school this year. If I didn't know her personally, I would never have believed it. But, I can guarantee it does happen.

Answer 6

This actually happened to me with my last baby. When I had taken the pregnancy test I had figured that I was only about 2 weeks along because I had my period up until that time, but when I went to the doctors they found out that i was 10 weeks along!! DANG 2 months went by without me even knowing i was pregnant because of my periods... weird, huh? So I welcomed Makynna Grace ... she was my gift from God =)

Answer 7

I did. It was scary because I thought I was going to bleed to death. The doctors told me that I wasn't able to have kids because of my endometreosis. I had what I thought was my period for 2 months and it was really weird so I went to the doctor and when he told me that I was pregnant we were both shocked. So that is how I found out. He said that it was scar tissue that was built up in my uterus getting flushed out. After that I was fine. I bled only a little after that for a few days and was told to stay off my feet.

Answer 8

I bled for the first 4months and thought i was just having a light cycle. I found out i was pregnant almost 6months pregnant. I was luck that I'm a fairly healthy person and my first pregnancy went alright.

Answer 9

I actually did for four months...I found out when I was six months. I thought I was about two months pregnant. I gave birth to him when I was eight months pregnant. I was not taking care of myself as a pregnant woman should because i actually didnt know I was pregnant. he was 3lbs 5oz at birth. hes fine now.

Answer 10

I never have however From what I understand peeps who get their period while preg have extra eggs that need released therfore it is hard for some birthcontrols to work-how to find out when you got pregnant will probaly have to be decided by ultrasound!

Answer 11

No, you can't get your period while pregnant. What your period does is flush out the nutrients and other things that would make your uterus able to hold a life. Because of this if you are to have your period while pregnant that is whats normally called a miscarriage.
