If you get pregnant while on your period will you stay on your period for the rest of the week or will it stop once you get pregnant?

Answer 1

First off, it is extremely unlikely for someone to get pregnant while on their period. Generally, you ovulate (which is the only time conception or pregnancy can happen) 14 days after the first day of your period and it's very rare to ovulate during your period. Sperm can only survive in the body for about 72 hours.

It is possible to still have some bleeding once you're pregnant, but it's unlikely and usually it's just spotting.

A period is the removal of the uterine lining, so if that lining is being removed then there's no place for embryo to latch onto and would normally be sloughed off with the rest of the uterus.

So the answer to your question is that it's highly unlikely on two accounts but not impossible.

Answer 2

When you are on your period, you are flushing away the lining that a fertilized egg would have needed to sustain a pregnancy. Ovulation occurs approximately 10 -14 days before your period begins. Because ovulation occurs earlier, you would have conceived prior to your period. Most women will not conceive while on their period (unless there are other fertility issues present). However, in some (not very frequent) cases, some women do have periods after they have conceived.

In normal cases, however, the egg is fertilized and travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the uterus lining-- and then the woman will miss her period approximately 2 weeks after ovulation/fertilization.
