Pregnancy while menstruating

Answer 1

If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

First I will always say that unless you are abstinent, there is always a possibility of being pregnant. Yes, you can get pregnant. Be on the lookout for pregnancy symptoms just in case. Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain. Common myths suggest that you cannot get pregnant while on your period, that is false information as well; although it is less likely it is still possible. You can also get pregnant from pre-ejaculate as you might not have thought because pre-ejaculate still contains sperm/semen. The pullout or withdraw method can still have sperm or semen that can come in contact with the vagina and get a female pregnant.

Answer 4

Start of a miscarriage, you have.
