Is it possible to be 5 weeks pregnant and get a regular period? My friend told me she was pregnant and then I found out that she was having her period or at least bleeding pretty heaving, she told me it was called spotting but then again i've also heard that spotting is brown and not as heavy as a period, or is that not always the case and could she really be pregnant. I'm not sure what to believe, I don't see her lying about something like this and I don't know of any reason why she would it just doesn't make sense to me that she would have what seems to be a regualar period while pregnant, I do believer that its actually been as heavy as a period, and she has expierenced cramping pretty badly aswell. What could be going on with her she told me she would make an apt with the doc as soon as she could get it. But could she really be pregnant?
