Answer 2

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. However if you are aware that you are pregnant and expierence ANY bleeding it is best to see your doctor. Now back to my answer...my cousin was 22 weeks before she knew she was pregnant because she had normal periods, she found out she was pregnant because she felt "queazy" and thought the "flu" she had a few months prior just hadn't gone away. Considering her yearly pelvic exam was due the doctor decided that since she was there they'd get it all done and that is when it was discovered that the "flu" she had was actually a pregnancy.
I had periods through my 10th week but I "knew" I was pregnant, well I figured there HAD to be a reason I could no longer put a cigarette in my mouth without gagging and throwing up. LOL

Answer 4

Yes you can. I had a friend in high school that didn't know she was pregnant until she was 7 months because she had her period until then. We all thought she was just gaining weight and she was already big chested. When she finally skipped a period she went to the doctor and when they did an ultrasound she see exactly how far along she was they were surprised to see she was in her 7th month.

Answer 5

nope..when you're pregnant, you do not get a period..sometimes, some women experience a bit of bleeding (normal), but it is not technically an actual "period" (the body getting rid of an egg that has been released)..hope this helps!

Answer 6

That is not a period. It's is called spotting. See a doctor.

Answer 7

yes, sometimes it takes months to go away and some people have had a period the entire time.

Answer 8

You can have bleeding and be pregnant. It isn't your "period", but, as I have recently found out, you can have bleeding during the first trimester and it not be "bad". But I would go to an OB/GYN, to get yourself checked out....

Answer 9

i had my period when i was pregnant and on the pill

Answer 10

i dont think so. your period is the lining of your uterus...the egg needs the "cushion" of the womb to attach itself.
talk to your doctor about the bleeding.
