Pregnancy During Menstruation?
Posted: 12-23-05 05:27am

Hello,

is it possible to still be pregnant while menstruating?


Period last month lasted for only 3 days. Very abnormal for me. It's never been that short before. This month I have felt pregnant, but it seems that I have started period once again. Not quite sure what might be going on.
What would a period lasting for only 3 days mean? It was a normal period, fairly heavy and all for about 2 days then it slowed and eventually stopped. I am not on any type of birth control or medication. Nothing that would cause period to be abnormal.


As said, I felt pregnant this past month. Early symptoms. And my abdomen has grown slightly larger. But have just started what seems to be another period so i'm not sure what any of this could be.


Also, have felt this fluttery, lightly tense feeling in my slightly larger abdomen. Would that at all be related to anything else?


Answers to these questions would be appreciated.


Tried to ask a doctor on here, but there seems to be a bug in the system.

Could someone please answer my question? Or does it usually take a certain amount of time for a question to be answered? Not sure since i'm new to this place.

Thanks.

Well..I'm going through the same thing.My periods aren't the same either.I know that you can have what appears to be a period during a normal healthy pregnancy.No woman is the same.Everyone is different.A doctor told me that even with implantation bleeding.It can be heavy..I thought it could only be light.She said it varies from woman to woman.So the best way to know is to have a doctor confirm it.There are actually more false negatives with hpt than false positives.

I bled or spotted the whole pregnancy with elisa and trust me I freaked right out but every pregnancy is different as well as every woman.

Get a blood test done and what I was told at the hospital with elisa is as long as I wasnt hemoragging or bleeding alot accompanied by severe cramping then I could just stay at home. As for pregnancy #2 I bled abit in the 5&6 month because of a complication and was placed on bedrest but im fine now..

Its extremely possible to have both just try not to panic I think I drove the drs nuts at triage cause I kept going in if the blood got darker or thicker etc I was just a worry wart...


Take care

I had a two day period this month and I swear I feel pregnant, headaches, moodiness, tiredness, gurgly stomach, bloated, and swollen fingers and toes. I took a test twice and it came back negative. I cannot wait until next month the wait is killing me. Let me know if you ever found out if you are pregnant. I don't mind if I am but the wait is killing me. Hang in there.
