Can you have a period and still be pregnant?

Question

We are trying to conceive our second child. My breasts are really sore and I was three days early. I have always been exactly 28 days on the pill or not on the pill. The bleeding is really lite red. For the last week I have been getting these really tired spells All of a sudden. I have felt dizzy at times. My husband said I have been getting mood swings too. This is my second child,you would think that I would know.

Answer 1

There is a possibility that you could be pregnant... for whatever reason a lot more women are having "periods" for the first three months of their period, or the entire thing.

The most important thing to remember is that if you experience any intense/severe cramping associated with bleeding you should contact your medical provider immediately.

The symptoms you have listed above appear to be those of pregnancy. Make sure to take a pregnancy test right away, and if it comes back negative and you are still feeling this way, wait three days and retest. If these feelings do not go away, please contact your doctor.

I hope everything goes the way that you are hoping for.

Good luck hun!

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

Yes you can still have a period and still be pregnant. But you need to see a doctor because if you are pregnant they can give you something to stop the bleeding. I hope that everything turns out good for.

Answer 4

Yes, It would not be considered a period though if you were pregnant. It would be bleeding in early pregnancy, which can happen. I would take a test to see for sure. Good luck.

Answer 5

My sister-in-law had her "period" throughout her entire pregnancy. Everything turned out to be fine. It is rare, but as her Doctor told her, it is possible to bleed throughout your pregnancy. I would definately check in with your Doctor, tell him/her what the color is, how much, how frequently, etc. all the info you can give will help your Doctor determine if it is normal or if he/she should check you out further.
Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Yes, you can have your period for the first month or two of your pregnancy. That is what happened with me. Congrats if you are! Take care.

Answer 7

This is probably implantation bleeding and not a period. Read about implantation bleeding... Is your blook reddish brown and is there spotting or is there a flow of blood?.

Yes you can, I've heard of it happening many times, all on my grandmother's side of the family. See your gyno to make sure.
Good Luck!
