Question 1

is it generally normal for a women to get a period when pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: You can not have perior while pregnant. Bleeding in pregnancy could be due to several reasons. I suggest you follow up with your OB gyn.

Question 2

im confused. so can you get a period and still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You always have to rule out pregnancy.  Get a home pregnancy test.  They should turn positive about the time you're a week late.  If it's negative, repeat it and call your doctor.

Question 3

is it possible to be pregnant though still taking the pill, if when you stop taking the pill for 4 days you get a period still?

Accepted Answer

Possible, unlikely: When taken regularly the pill is very effective but nothing is 100%.Stopping contraceptive pills typically causes a "withdrawl bleed" 1-5 days later so you can't completely rule out pregnancy because of that bleeding. Best to take a pregnancy test if you are worried.If not wanting a pregnancy, continue to take the pills or consult your doctor for other methods.If pregnancy desired start folic acid

Question 4

can you get a period while pregnant what the difference period blood and period pregnat blood ?

Accepted Answer

No: There  are  many different  causes of bleeding during pregnancy  such as  threatened  miscarriage, partial  separation of  the  placenta  and  even  infection or  inflammation of the  cervix.
This  may mimic a  menses  but   is  not considered  a period.
If you have  bleeding during pregnancy you  should  contact your md.

Question 5

can you get a period and have pregnancy symptoms? im on nexplanon and i feel pregnant i feel very hungry and sleepy

Accepted Answer

Side Effect: Nexplanon is a Progesterone only birth control method.  Progesterone levels are normally elevated just prior to your menstrual period and also in pregnancy.  So using a progesterone only method can make you feel pregnant, hungry and sleepy.    If this is new for you, you might do a home pregnancy test to be sure.  But most likely it is a side-effect of Nexplanon.  Best wishes!

Question 6

can i get pregnant days before period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, that is when you would get pregnant.

Question 7

can u get pregnant a day before period?

Accepted Answer

No: The simple answer si 'no, ' but the catch is if you had a late or irregular ovulation you won't know it until your period doesn't start. Another way of putting it is no you can't get pregnant the day before a certain period, but you can get pregnant the day before an anticipated period if it doesn't start when expected.

Question 8

can you get pregnant 1 week before period?

Accepted Answer

: It would be unusual unless the woman has irregular cycles. Pregnancy has been documented from exposure on any day of a woman's cycle including menses. There is no guaranteed "safe" days, only maybe safe days. If it matters use BC.

Question 9

can you get pregnant without having a period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some women have more ovulatory cycles (chance of getting pregnant) than menstrual cycles/periods, especially in young girls in the first few years of having their menstrual cycle.

Question 10

know how can i get pregnant without a period?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation needed : Periods just let you know that you are ovulating and that you have a normal endometrial lining. 
If you have that (like women who get pregnant while breast-feeding without a period), periods are not necessary.
I see you are 41, if you are in early menopause, you could use donated ovum and medicines to imitate the normal hormonal milieu of spontaneous conception.
