Can Pregnant Women Get Periods?
Posted: 10-17-07 21:27pm

I recently had a pregnancy scare. And while I've had virtually no symptoms, I was waiting to see if I would get my period to make sure I wasn't pregnant. I finally got it a couple days ago. And while the first day was normal and I had cramps, it kind of faded away after just three days. I'm on the 4th day and I'm still getting a little something, but the whole time it's been quite light; lighter than most of my other ones. My periods are very short and irregular normally and I was just wondering if this change in my period could mean I'm pregnant. I've heard of pregnant women still getting their period. Also, I've been under a lot of stress because of school. I heard that could change the pattern of your period. Could anyone give me some advice or information? Thanks!

If you got your period, you're not pregnant. You said yourself that you are irregular so you really answered the question yourself.

If there is ever a concern over pregnancy, the best thing to do is to take a pregnancy test. No one can tell you what your body may be doing because no one else lives in your body.
