Is it possible to still get your period and be pregnant? Symptoms have been happening for over a month, such as pure exhaustion, tender swollen breast, with veins starting to show and little bumps on areoles. I could not stand for my fiance to grab them last night, ouch! I have been on edge the last week, no not due to pms, I promise that. I spotted in August, late and strange period in sept, then strange period in oct. My belly is getting a little hard, the flab seems to be dissappearing. I kind of feel like I am. I am trying not to think about it so I do not give myself false symptoms. Any ideas?

I tested the day after I got my period and it was negative. I tested 2 days prior to that and got a very very faint line!

I'm kinda in the same situation, I was REALLY convinced it was my month, and my period was even 3 days late, and it's usually like clockwork on the 28th day. When I did the ehpt it was -'ve a few days before af was due. then i took another one a day after af was due and there was a very faint line. I went to the clinic for a blood test but won't get those results atleast until tuesday. last night i was spotting, but it was pinkish so i tought it was the implantation bleeding, it followed a day of increased cm. I was not worried, but this morning there was more and it was almost like af. I was really worried, so i went to buy another test and that came -'ve. I'm really confused because i still have a queesy feeling, my bbs are swollen and my nipples are extremely sore, which never happens with af. I think i'm gonna see what happens today, try to determine if it is af, or just implantation bleeding. I remember reading a post on here a few weeks ago and she said that her implantation bleeding was very heavy and like af, but she was infact pregnant. I tried to find that post this morning, but couldn't. I'm really not sure what to think at this point, and I want to get the results of the blood test. Until then, I guess I gotta hang in there.. but it's hard to hold back the excitement and the tears.

Good luck to all of you. TTC can be a very confusing and trying time, hopefully our stay here with be short with happy results!

I guess maybe I should get a blood test to determine. If I am not pregnant, then there may be something else wrong with me. Keep me updated!

It sure sounds like u may be pregnant. It is definitely possible to be pregnant and have a period. I had a friend who didn't find out she was pregnant until she was 5 mos along because she still had a period and was carrying in her lower back. I would definitely get a blood test done ASAP!!!!!! I'll keep u in my prayers, here is some baby dust to u

Good Luck, ~~~***~~~***~~~

Ive been wanting to be a mother for a few years now. This was the first time I have been late(5 days). Last night I started having this bad cramping feeling like pressure in vagina making me feel like I had to push and it hurt so bad I couldnt move or walk and was crying. I started to bleed very faint. I feel that I am pregnant. I was so happy for once and once this started I cried and husband don't understand why-I feel that ill never be able to get pregnant. Im not even bleeding and its more of a purplish tint. All this is unlikely for me-do yall think I could still be pregnant. I was cryign telling him What if something is wrong with my uterus not being able to take it. Im very scared and sad while just the other day I was so happy. I dont know what to do-can any1 give me some pointers. My manager is bringing me a preg test to work tomorrow-should i still take it???
