A member asked:

I am confused about can you get pregnant and have a period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: It can be common to have spotting during pregnancy leading one to think they are still having their period. Get a pregnancy test and go to your doctor. Spotting could be harmless or it could be serious. Your doctor will know which :).
