I am getting a period! but my pregnancy test says i'm pregnant?

Question

am i miscarrying?

Answer 1

If you are pregnant, than the bleeding is not a period. You could be bleeding due to a variety of reasons and you should contact your OB ASAP. I bled a lot during my pregnancy due to placenta previa, and thank goodness everything turned out allright. Many women have period like bleeding when pregnant and have healthy babies at the end, so try not to get too stressed out.

* For those who are saying you can have a period while pregnant, they obviously do not know what a period is. It's the disposal of the unused egg and uterus lining. If you lost your uteris lining when you were pregnant then it would be a miscarriage.

Answer 2

NOBODY AND I REPEAT NOBODY HAS A PERIOD WHEN THEY ARE PREGNANT.....DO THEY RESEARCH.

It could be implation bleeding which happens about the time you should normally have a period. If the test says positive then you are pregnant if it is heavy bleeding with pains go too the dr. here is an article on the period when pregnant thing it is impossible the bleeding is something else. I PROMISE.

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

If the bleeding is lighter than usual and lasts for 1-2 days it's implantation bleeding. That typically happens 5-12ish days after conception, and it's definitely NOT the same as a period. If you have implantation bleeding, it ends abruptly and your pregnancy should work just fine.

If you're having what seems like a typical period (same duration and amount of blood), it happens the same day as your normal period would, you may be having your period and the test is wrong. Sometimes, if you wait too long to read the result of your test, it automatically turns to "pregnant." If this is a home pregnancy test, sometimes they can also be inaccurate.

If you have severe pain and the bleeding happens earlier than your period normally would, in addition to lasting much over 2 days, you could be miscarrying. Do you drink a lot of coffee and alcohol? Do you smoke or use any drugs? Have you been exposed to lead-based paint recently? Are you over 35? Any of these factors could make you miscarry more easily.

However, you should go see your doctor to be sure. The most accurate pregnancy test is a blood test. If you have insurance, visit a local hospital's Emergency Room, they will cover it with your co-pay, and the results typically only take one hour!

Answer 4

some women do have a period when they are pregnant. But I wouldn't take any risks, call the doctor. More than likely you are fine, but you might just want to call a doctor. From my understanding, if you are miscarrying you would be having some severe crampings and pains, more than and worse than menstral.

Answer 5

it is uncommon to have a period during a pregnancy, but its not an unusual thing. i still had my periods until i was 6 months pregnant with my first son. some women have their monthlies right up until their due date.
