A member asked:

Can a woman with dysmenorrhea be pregant?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

That: Depends on what you mean. Dysmenorrhea occurs during menses. If the woman is menstruating then she is not pregnant. However, having bouts of dysmenorrhea does not in ; of itself mean that a woman could not become pregnant.
