period bleeding and pregnant?

OK, I have heard that you can still have your period type bleeding while preg. I have read up on this some, but it does not tell me if my bleeding would be a little different from the real period or not. I am now very paranoid that I could be preg and not know it because I would have period-like bleeding. I am hoping that the preg bleeding women get would be a different pattern from regular period. Then I will know I'm not preg. Anybody know?

I fooled around big time 5 months ago, "sorta" did it but would have taken real swimmers. Breasts not tender. Periods just about 2 days early which I do sometimes. Periods are pretty normal. On the heavy side, but they have been getting heavier all the time even before this.

I did one of those online tests and it said I may be preg, like 33% chance with my symptoms. I always have some bloating and tummy ache, sort of IBS. I feel like there is something in my tummy, but I'm pudgy already and it might be a muscle thing. Could be a fibroid or something.

I've met 2 people who did not discover they were pregnant until many months in because they were having regular periods. One found out at 4 months and the other at 5 months! I think they both found out from the weight gain or possibly movement? I can't remember how they found out, but they did. It sounds amazing to me that it could take that long to find out, but it does happen to some people. Maybe you should just take a test or go to the doctor to relieve your mind. Good luck!

I agree... you'll be suprised how people will continue to get regular AF while they are pregnant.
