Question

How often on average could i be pregnant and have my period also?

Answer 1

Can't: Vaginal bleeding is possible for several reasons when pregnant, but you cannot have a menstrual period at all while pregnant, not possible.

Answer 2

Unlikely: Unlikely.

Answer 3

Varies: Some women may ovulate as early as 5-7 days after day 1, which is the first day of menstrual flow, not spotting. Usually though a person ovulates 12-16 days prior to there menses.

Answer 4

It depends: Depends on many factors. Take a 28-day cycle and count from the first day of bleeding: you are 'at risk' to become pregnant as early as the 9-10th day, but more usually between the 12th to 15th. In a shorter/longer or irregular cycle, it will be different. Do you want to conceive or are you asking how to avoid pregnancy? The facts are the same but the strategy would be different!

Answer 5

Please Clarify: One does not count fertility as the time of your period. You are fertile when you are ovulating. Ovulation is the cornerstone of your menstrual cycle and is the one absolutely necessary fact about menstruation that every female must know. Ovulation is the process of preparing the egg for impregnation and the event of the egg being released from the ovary. Sex during the five days of ovulation.

No: However, you can bleed while you are pregnant. It can be heavy and appear like a period, especially if you are having a miscarriage.

Answer 7

No: A period occurs when an egg fails to be fertilized causing shedding of the uterine lining. This can not occur during pregnant. A pregnant woman can still bleed though. Any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated. About 50% of women have some bleeding in early pregnancy making it very common but not normal. Most are fine but sometimes bleeding can indicate a tubal pregnancy or miscarriage.

Answer 8

Vaginal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding is rather common during early pregnancy. Some women may mistakenly think that this bleeding is a true period, when in fact it is due to the pregnancy.

It all Depends: Is the period on time? Seemingly normal in consistency? Did you have any unexpected spotting prior to the period?

Answer 19

Period v miscarriage: You are either having your period or you are at risk for miscarriage but not both at the same time. Hard to tell if you lost the pregnancy within days of conceiving and the miscarriage starts around the time you were to get a period. Bleeding is usually heavier & more painful. If your pregnancy test is negative, it is by default your period since you cannot prove you were ever pregnant.

Answer 20

Not typically: Especially if it is a normal period. But if pregnancy is a possibility due to unprotected intercourse, best to do a pregnancy test to be sure

Answer 21

Pregnancy unlikely: "I got my period" generally means not pregnant. If worried, one can do a home urine pregnancy test, which is very accurate by 3 weeks after sex.
