Is it possible?

Can you be pregnant and still get your period??

Thanks

Re: Is it possible?

sort of..but it wouldn't really be a "period" it would be implantation bleeding.
From what i read implantation bleeding usually shows up about a week after ovulation and isn't nearly as heavy as a period. I also read that its usually just 1-3 days at most.

On the flip side to that i've heard crazy stories of people who have had their period while they were pregnant, but I think that is very very rare.

Thanks. My doctor wants me to have a sonogram and blood tests even though I have had my period and have gotten BFN on tests. She's worried because I have these weird food aversions and she cannot figure out why.

I had bleeding in my first pregnancy that could have definitely been mistaken for a period.

ETA: Although, I knew I was pregnant and had it confirmed on multiple sonos at that point!!

All I know on this subject is what I learned from "I didnt know I was pregnant" on TLC..the doctors on the show say it's not possible BUT it could be fibroids, cysts, implantation
