A friend of mine told me that she had her period with her only child but that was 19 years ago and she cant remember if it was very heavy or not. With all three of my pregnancies I had a period until I was eight months pregnant. Even though you cannot be pregnant and still have a period bleeding in pregnancy especially early on is not uncommon.
Following Your Period While you may assume that you are safe from pregnancy in the first few days following your period you are actually moving into a new fertility window. This is likely the first thing you thought of when your period was late and you have likely already taken a pregnancy test. Most pregnancy tests will be able to give you accurate results by the time your period is late. If you are pregnant ovulation wont occur and your uterine lining wont be entirely shed along with an egg so by definition the bleeding isnt a period. Can you be pregnant and still have a period. This is not true.
The egg only survives for 24 hours following ovulation so in this scenario becoming pregnant during your period is not a major risk.
Doctors call this implantation bleeding. For example there can be a small amount of bleeding when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. My doctor placed me on bed rest around my 5 month. This is not true. Its unlikely that youll get pregnant just after your period although it can happen. Remember that on a 28- to 30-day cycle the fertility window is usually between Days 11 and 21.
