Hi,

Just for a bit of background info: I stopped taking bcps 4+ months ago--I've had strange AF since then, including last month...they've been late, too heavy, too light, etc.

I've read on some many many sites that it is possible to have bleeding and even a period of sorts and be pregnant. Is this true? Has anyone heard of this? Please let me know..I'm WAY too anxious! Thanks and goodluck to everyone!

Well, that exact thing happened to me this month. My AF started bang on time with a tiny bit of spotting. I figured, well, that's it for this month. But it was really light for a day. Then it stopped altogether. Since that would be the lightest period I've ever had in my entire life (they tend to be quite the opposite), I got suspicious and went out tonight and got a PG test. Sure enough, it came up a BFP+! Figures, cause we had money problems before-- our car broke down and we don't know when we'll be able to fix it. So we had to go out and get a new (used) car! We really weren't counting on having a car payment. But still, we are really happy to be having a child. This is a second marriage for both of us, and we really have wanted to have a child together. We have lots of baby stuff we can recycle from my youngest stepdaughter, who turns 3 in two weeks.

HI!

Congrats on your BFP! It's nice to hear that it is possible to be pg and have af come! I'm going to test either tomorrow or Friday! I'll let you know the results! Hopefully you'll see my post under the BFP section! Goodluck!

Hi Heather!

My mother and several friends bled during their pregnancy, my mother had a full period when pg with me. I have a girlfriend that also had a "period" when pg and then another that started bleeding during their first month and spotted during all her preganancy (cause unknown). So I guess it is possible! Good Luck! Hope you get your BFP!
