Question 1

is it possible to have your period and be pregnant at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No: If a woman has her NORMAL regular menstrual period, she is presumed not pregnant. If she thinks she is pregnant, then doing a home urine pregnancy test the week after missing her "normal" period, the week after getting a "strange or abnormal period," or 3 weeks after having sex, should give an accurate result.

Question 2

is it possible for you to have your period and be pregnant? i'm not talking about spotiness or light bleeding. i'm talking about a regular med flow.

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Bleeding like a period in early pregnancy may occur due to several different causes.  These include an abnormal pregnancy (threatened miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy), implantation bleeding with a normal pregnancy, bleeding from the vagina, cervix or uterus due to causes not directly related to pregnancy, or even due to a false positive pregnancy test with a normal period.

Question 3

can you still get a period and be pregnant (early)?

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.

Accepted Answer

Technically, no.: a period is a sloughing of the lining of your uterus when you do not become pregnant.  so technically, if you have a period, you are not pregnant.  you can, however, have vaginal bleeding while pregnant...  while never normal, it is not uncommon.  the first thing to do is purchase a (very inexpensive) pregnancy test at the store.   if it is positive, see your doctor for further evaluation.
