Pregnant with a period possible????????

I was 2 to 5 days late with my period and felt signs of pregnancy so on Aug 16th I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. Then today Aug 19 th, 3 days later I got my period. Has anyone ever been pregnant and got their period, not spotting but their real period before or could it be something else.



Thanks for any help on this matter!

Ok yes you can get a normal period while pergnant but you should always get it checked out. Now how is the bleeding? are you cramping? Backachs? How often are you changeing the pad? Are you changeing the pad every hr or too or less?

The bleeding is exactly like a period. I have menstrual-like cramps and changing pad every few hours like regular not every 1 or 2 hours. I am going to the doctor soon but I'm wondering if I could still be pregnant?



Thanks for your input.....

Well if its normal like you did before you got pregnant then there should be no worie. Alot of ppl have bleeding like that 3 4 or all though there pregnancy, so its normal if you're cramping gets really bad where you jsut can't stand it and you are right on the ground or they came in patterns like ever few min they stop and then come back really badly then i wouldn't wait and go to the er. But right now just keep you're doctor appoiment.

HI! When do you plan on going to the doctor? If you have bleeding and have had a +++ test you need to be seen right away !It can be normal then it may not be . Have you tried retesting? Let us know what happens!

Its possible to have a "period" when pregnant. Having a positive test shows you were, most likley for sure. There is also a chance that you could be having an early m/c...in either case, you need to see your doctor. Here is a link to a page that has some information on bleeding in early pregnancy...: http://www.babyzone.com/features/content/display.asp?TopicID=40&ContentID=187

Hope it helps.
