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 will 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 practitioner 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 midpregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby to clarify exactly when the baby is due.

Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy go on to 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 will probably go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period. 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 may have an ectopic pregnancy (also known as a tubal pregnancy). Because of these potential complications, 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.

YES! and sometimes for the first few months.... Talk to a OBGYN, but generally if the bleeding is minimal and there is no significant cramping, all is well. It takes a little while for all of your hormones to register that you are pregnant and to stop the cycle. There is no substitute for good prenatal care, so consult your physician at your earliest convenience, but you absolutely can have a period during pregnancy, particularly at the beginning. yes you can

i dont know if it is technically considered a period but i had mines every month on the right day for the first 6 months of my pregnancy after 6.5 weeks of my pregnancy, my hpt started coming back negative. i saw the baby moving at around 25 weeks, and my symptoms persisted, i went to the doctor and the baby's heartbeat was great, if you ever feel your intuition is telling you you are pregnant go bang on doors to someone listens and pray to GOD to keep your child in his hands, and he will!

YES MY MOTHER WENT THROUGH THAT WITH HER FIRST CHILD
