Is it possible to be pregnant and still have my period?

Without a doubt.: While most pregnant women stop bleeding monthly while pregnant, a few do continue to have menstrual-like bleeding. In addition, some light spot-bleeding is common in pregnancy during the first and second trimesters. If you feel you might be pregnant, or are ever concerned about bleeding while pregnant, never hesitate to call your doctor.

Menses and Pregnancy: I have had many women tell me that they knew someone who had menses during pregnancy. I stopped OB in 1994 after 16 yrs and never had a patient with menses during pregnancy. I think any bleeding can be called menses by some. A real menses is bleeding caused by a normal cycle without pregnancy. So technically, you cannot have menses while pregnant. Bleeding deserves an evaluation whatever the name.

Menses while pregnan: I have had patients report that they had periods while pregnant, but i agree with dr. Opsahl that it is very unusual, and probably represents a risk to the pregnancy. I would see a doctor if you know you are pregnant and are having bleeding.

No: If you have any vaginal bleeding during pregnancy you should see your doctor.

Well: You can have some bleeding during pregnancy but it's not the same as the menstrual bleeding that occurs with a normal cycle. Same blood, different physiology.
