Can your period come if you're pregnant?

Answer 1

Your period should stop when you are pregnant. Menses is the sloughing of the nutrients a fetus would need to survive, so when this is lost there is nothing for the baby to survive on. If you know you are pregnant and have what you think is a period, you may have miscarried, the body's way of stopping a pregnancy that would not end in a viable baby. See your OB/GYN immediately if this happens.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

No - it's biologically impossible to menstruate while you are pregnant as the body prevents ovulation and prevents the break-down in uterus lining as it is needed to supprot the foetus.

Answer 4

Only in very rare cases
