Can I have a period AND be pregnant? Posted: 03-18-07 09:44am
ok..im so confused, im 25weeks pregnant
right now, and i had been with my
boyfriend for 4 years but we had broke up
in aug. 2006 for a while, and i had sex
with another guy just a one time thing on
sept. 15 ..well me and my boyfriend got
back together the end of sept. and my last
period was sept. 20th and the only person
i have been with after my last period was
my boyfriend, i calculated and i think i
would have gotten pregnant oct. 4th but im
not for sure and im just wondering if
there is a chance that my baby could be
the other guys instood of my boyfriends
even tho i had a period (and it was a
normal pretty heavy period lasting
5days)?? Ive had an ultra sound and the
doctor said the babies measurements
matched up with my LMP pretty close. I
havent been on birth control since june 06
and every since i went off it my periods
have been sorta irregular, i do know my
period before my last one was aug. 28, so
my cycle had been about 24days. I know
that i havent been with anyone else but my
boyfriend after my last period and i know
that we had sex on oct. 4th but i heard
that u could be pregnant and still have a
period. Thats why im wondering if it could
be the other guys instood of my
boyfriends?? Can u tell me when i
conceived? the doctors gave me a due date
of june 27 2007.

Pregnancy cannot be attributed to sexual
intercourse before the date of your last
menstruation. If your last menstruation
happened on the 20th of September, you
probably conceived in the first half of
October.
You can’t have menstrual periods while
pregnant. You may be experiencing vaginal
bleeding during pregnancy. Vaginal
bleeding during pregnancy is called
"spotting" and can be investigated by your
OB/GYN.
