Please take some time to yourself to do some research on this subject. you CANNOT have a period and be PREGNANT!!!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.

This is one of those topics that there is never going to be a total agreement on, like abortion. There will always be the ones who say yes you can and those of us who say no you can't.
There has been massive research conducted on this issue and all research has pointed to the fact that someone cannot have their period and be pregnant. I cannot say either way, but I do listen to the scientifics of the matter and I would be inclined to agree with you. This was even taught in my parenting classes.
It is also told that when the fertilized egg reaches the uterus it burrows into the wall of the uterus. If someone was to have a true period and be pregnant, the egg would be flushed out with the uterine lining. That makes sense to me.
But I am not scientist, I can say that I never had the confusion with my pregnancy. I had no bleeding at all.

It is possible to have a little bleeding during pregnancy. They don't call it a period 'cause you don't get a period once your pregnant. If it's constant bleeding like a period you should notify your doctor immediately.

I'm sorry never say never. In most cases you don't get a period while pregnant but in a few cases people have regular bleeding for 4 or 5 months not knowing that they are pregnant.

is this a question or an answer?
The answer is no you can bleed when your pregnant but you cannot have your period while pregnant. This is because if you have your period an egg is released but if your pregnant no egg can be released.

Yes you CAN have a period and be pregnant. BTW I'm not a "girl" I'm a full grown adult woman. My cousin had REGULAR periods until he 6th month. I had regular periods until my 10th week. The information you supply is all GENERALIZED and does not relate to INDIVIDUALS. Since every single woman on this planet is different their periods are going to be different and so are their pregnancies. Do some research of your own.
