Does anyone know if it's common to still have your minstral cyle while being pregnant?

Answer 1

Many women report having their period while pregnant, but typically this is not the case. The reason why this cannot be is that pregnancy and menstruation cannot take place at the same time, by the very definition of the two. If you were pregnant and you began menstruating you would inevitably lose the pregnancy, or have a miscarriage. While you cannot have your period and continue to be pregnant at the same time you can experience vaginal bleeding and continue to be pregnant. It is often this vaginal bleeding that women believe is their menstrual cycle when it is not.

Early pregnancy bleeding is not at all uncommon and many women report that they do bleed regularly during the early portion of their pregnancies. This is not at all a menstrual cycle though; it is usually referred to as early pregnancy bleeding. This bleeding is usually is due to hormonal changes and is not of the quantities of blood that a woman typically sees when having her normal menstrual period. Early pregnancy bleeding can vary in amounts from slight spotting to vaginal bleeding consistent with a menstrual cycle.

Another reason for bleeding during pregnancy is something called implantation bleeding. This bleeding usually takes place when the embryo is attaching to the wall of the uterus. This type of bleeding is ordinarily seen five days after conception, so it is easy to see why a woman would confuse this bleeding with her menstrual cycle and there may be some difficulty in determining when the last menstrual period was. Implantation bleeding is not all that common and usually is not more than a slight spotting or a pinkish red colored mucus, but occasionally there is more bleeding associated with it.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible to continue to have periods while you are pregnant. Some women will have a period the first month into their pregnancy, while others continue to have periods throughout the pregnancy. These periods are usually different from your normal period in that the bleeding tends to be lighter. However, if you believe you are pregnant, the best thing to do is get a pregnancy test (either at home or in your doctor's office) and find out for sure. If you test positive, you should see your doctor because while bleeding can be normal, it can also be a symptom of a serious problem with the pregnancy, so it is critical to get a full work-up to determine whether your bleeding is "okay" or a sign of a serious issue. I hope that helps.

Answer 3

Bleeding when pregnant is not called a period. A period is the disposal of the unused egg and uterus lining. When you are pregnant the egg was used, and the lining is being used by the baby. I bled a lot when pregnant, and it mimicked my period, but I ended up having a condition that was causing it. Anytime you bleed when you are pregnant you need to report it as it could indicate a problem, but for a lot of women everything turns out fine. Women who say they got their period when they were pregnancy are simply mislabeling the bleeding.
