can you still have your period if you are pregnant?

Answer 1

That is called a miscarriage

Answer 2

no...but you can bleed or spot:
Bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage but does not mean that miscarriage is imminent. Studies show that anywhere from 20-30% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy. Approximately half of pregnant women who bleed do not have miscarriages. Approximately 15-20% of all pregnancies result in a miscarriage, and the majority occur during the first 12 weeks.

Signs of Miscarriage include:

Vaginal bleeding
Cramping pain felt low in the stomach (stronger than menstrual cramps)
Tissue passing through the vagina
Most miscarriages cannot be prevented. They are often the body's way of dealing with an unhealthy pregnancy that was not developing. A miscarriage does not mean that you cannot have a future healthy pregnancy or that you yourself are not healthy.

Ectopic Pregnancies:

Ectopic pregnancies are pregnancies that implant somewhere outside the uterus. The fallopian tube accounts for the majority of ectopic pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancies are less common than miscarriages, occurring in 1 of 60 pregnancies.

Signs of Ectopic Pregnancies:

Cramping pain felt low in the stomach (usually stronger than menstrual cramps)
Sharp pain in the abdominal area
Low levels of hCG
Vaginal bleeding
Women are at a higher risk if they have had:

An infection in the tubes
A previous ectopic pregnancy
Previous pelvic surgery
Molar Pregnancies:

Molar pregnancies are a rare cause of early bleeding. Often referred to as a "mole", a molar pregnancy involves the growth of abnormal tissue instead of an embryo. It is also referred to as gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).

Signs of a Molar Pregnancy:

Vaginal bleeding
Blood tests reveal unusually high hCG levels
Absent fetal heart tones
Grape-like clusters are seen in the uterus by an ultrasound
What are common reasons for bleeding in the first half of pregnancy?
Since bleeding that occurs in the first half of pregnancy is so common (20-30%), many wonder what the causes are besides some of the complications already mentioned. Bleeding can occur in early pregnancy due to the following factors, aside from the above mentioned complications:

Implantation bleeding is one of many normal pregnancy symptoms and can occur anywhere from 6-12 days after possible conception. Every woman will experience implantation bleeding differently—some will lightly spot for a few hours, while others may have some light spotting for a couple of days.
Some type of infection in the pelvic cavity or urinary tract may cause bleeding.
After intercourse some women may bleed because the cervix is very tender and sensitive. You should discontinue intercourse until you have been seen by your doctor. This is to prevent any further irritation—having normal sexual intercourse does not cause a miscarriage.

Answer 3

Most girls usually stop their periods because that's just how we're wired. But I know my aunt's friend had her period for three months and didn't know she was pregnant until she started gaining a bunch of weight and her boys turned out just fine. A period is also a sign that you may be miscarrying...so if you are pregnant than call your doctor immediatly and tell them about it...they may want you to come in. good luck

Answer 4

Yes, you can. Someone very close to me was in her 8th month before she figured out she was pregnant. Very small belly, had periods, was very physically active, etc, etc. If it happened to her, it can happen to anyone, though it is rare. If you want a real answer, use a home pregnancy kit, available at any pharmacy without prescription.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Its possible, some women will have 1 or 2 during the first couple months of pregnancy, but anymore then that probably isn't a good thing.

Answer 7

yes it is possible to have a period during pregnancy. i've known a number of people who haven't been aware of being pregnant due to continuing periods.

Answer 8

NO
your period is the lining of your uterus (i dont know if thats how you spell it)
so if theres a baby in there AKA your pregnant there would be no reason for it to shed
because if it did it would get rid of the baby!

Answer 9

no not if you have a problem whilr pregnant just like some one said earlier it is known as a miscarriage. although my mother was period free 1 yr after i was born.

Answer 10

No, because you have your eggs fertilized, and you have a baby starting to develop in your womb, and the point of your period is to get rid of the linings and eggs that were getting ready to have the baby.

Answer 11

apparently you can, hence there are women that do not know that they are pregnant until there are a certian amount of months gone.

just monitor your periods, if they are different in any way, such as early, late, heavy, light, longer or shorter.

do tests regularly.
