It will be a lot more stressful for your cat if you get her fixed while she is in heat because she will be confused why she doesn't feel that way all of the sudden, so it'd be better if you got her fixed before she had her first heat or when she wasn't in heat. But no, it's not possible for her to be in heat once she is fixed, though again, she may be confused.
