Can I still be pregnant even though I just came on my period?

Question

Ok my last period was January 20th and lasted the normal 5- 6 days as usual. But this month came earlier than normal. I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend because we are trying to have a baby. The flow is pretty heavy but I don't know if it will slow down because today is just the first day (Well yesterday morning actually the 13th) and I heard some people still have their periods when they are pregnant and I have sore breasts and feeling a little nauseous is that pregnancy symptoms or is it because I'm on my period?

Answer 1

Yes , Yes, Yes... Sad But True. I had my period for 7 months into my first pregnancy... tried to convince myself for the first 4 months that the morning sickness I was having was the flu.....you just never know. Ok so I read the post by Butterfly angel, but I am telling you I had a period,... not some bleeding, but a regular 5 day cycle, right on time monthly.....

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.

Answer 3

Some women bleed during early pregnancy and confuse it with a period, but it's literally impossible to have a period and be pregnant at the same time. Any symtoms that you are feeling can be a result of many things other than pregnancy including pre-menstrual stress. If you're bleeding a lot, chances are you are not pregnant. If you really want, you can take a pregnancy test or see your doctor about your wonky cycle and your desire to get pregnant, but it's unlikely that you are pregnant.

Answer 4

Yes, I think I have heard it called breakthrough bleeding. The uterus becomes lined with the bloody nutrients that the baby gets nourishment from the mother. Sometimes even after the baby implants the uterus sluffs off some of the lining. Maybe the baby implants near the uterus opening or in a tube or any number of reasons. Take a pregnancy test and/or see a doctor. Do it soon, it could be threatening to you and/or the baby's life, if the tests are positive.

Answer 5

it is not achieveable to have your era whilst pregnant. What you're experiencing is breakthrough bleeding.while the female bleeds throughout being pregnant, while era became suppost to be due. yet alot lighter and doesnt final as long. considering your era got here at present. & you had intercourse 10 days in the past. Is seems such as you ignored your ovulation dates. As 8 days in the past. The egg disintegrated. Take a try if neg and being pregnant nevertheless looks like this is thre. Take yet another one approx a million week after. Or blood try is already precise. God Bless x

Answer 6

YES you can still be pregnant. I had my period with 3 of my 5 children, and one of my daughters had her period up to the 6th month. If in doubt have a pregnancy test done. Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 7

As a nurse I have seen all sorts of things come through my emergency room,anything is possible.Some ppl have they're cycle all the way up until they're ninth month believe it or not.I get some women who don't even know they're having a baby and come to the E.R complaining of back pain and a couple hrs later have a healthy baby girl or boy.Sounds to me like your cycle is just changing.

Answer 8

well even when some women bleed in pregnancy the flow is very less than the usual period so i would say u are not pregnant

Answer 9

I miscarried once and during the time I was pregnant (not knowing) I had my period. Sore breasts and nausea.....could be either. You should do a test! Hopefully it is positive! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 10

ok gross, but as we all learned in sex-ed class the period is the egg being purged from the body. now, correct me if i'm wrong but if the egg has been removed, where does the baby come from?


and the circle gets the square...
