Regular menstruation during pregnancy...

You have to take a pregnancy test early in the morning when you first need to urinate. Pregnancy hormone levels are highest at this time, otherwise the hormone levels may be too low to detect.

is it possible to have regular menstruation whiLe your pregnant?

Just wanted some insight.... i have been having my menstrual for the past three months, but have been extremely sexually active. We had a pregnancy scare the first month, but came out negative with both blood and urine tests. The last two menstruals have been irregular. They wouldn't last as long as they normally would and did not come when scheduled. Before now, I would be able to track my cycle with NO PROBLEM. Always accurate, but now the trackers are not accurate at all. I have been experiencing many symptoms. Nausea, cravings, fatigue, swelling, hot flashes, tender breasts, and my stomach has even gotten bigger. As stated before, I've taken HPT's as well as blood tests but they have all come back negative, but the symptoms have not subsided. I have had three previous pregnancies with they same EXACT symptoms.

Well im going thru da same thing I have 2 kids alredi but I just feel pregnant.Period still cumn, gained 5lbs within 2 wks, stomach hard and round slight dizzyness, 2 urine test @ da dr. negative......i dont know wut to think...could I still b pregnant

HI, I had three periods already after unprotected sex.  They have never been regular, sometimes with 4-5 and even 6 weeks intervals. Now instead of normal three days, I have two days (for the past three times). Before each period I always have very tender breasts, gassy and bigger belly, that somehow goes down after pms is over. Now hovewer, it did not happen and there is a bulge just above pervic bone. Don't feel that it's harder. urine tests showed negative, and there are no other signs of pregnancy, except slightly bigger breasts and that bulge. may be I'm just getting fat... :) What are your opinions?

 

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone's had the same kind of issues as myself.  About the start of June I seemed to have spotting that was pink and brown for a few days this was about a week after my menstral cycle.  After that I seemed to have a lot of discharge for a few weeks and insane amounts of pain in my abdominal area.  However I did get my period a few times after first time was only a week after spacing my periods by aproximatley 14 days and the next was a week later then normal got it 32 days after by they have been light compared to normal my periods normally last a week sometimes a few days later very heavey and clots but I haven't been clotting and they seem to be lasting four to five days, however my last one was only three and smelt very strongly like popcorn (too much info but weird).  I have been feeling fairly I'll however the last few weeks I seem to be feeling a lot better, but many issues still seem to be happening.  My breasts were sore since I had the spotting in June got really sore the one night and noticed when I brushed the side of one that they were leaking a clear fluid (I did go to the doctor about this as every time I slightly squeeze my nipples since small amounts of fluid come out, the doctor informed me this was normal) as well I have been sneezing for a few months I do not have any allergies, got a nose bleed the other day I've never had a nose bleed in my life.  As well it feels like something is pushing on my tailbone not painful pursay but a weird kind of pressure. I keep getting headaches and when I do it seems that my vision goes blurry.  My beasts seem fuller have changed in colour around the nipple i noticedand it looks like I've gain 10 to 15 pounds in my stomach but just in between my hips it my stomach has this funny angle coming off around my pelvic area really I haven't gained any weight at all however my clothing no longer fits around my waste.  The other night it felt like something was moving, I have taken a few tests one came up positive about a month ago so I took another a few days later just to see and it said negative.  I did visit the doctor again about it got a little worked up but his test said negative as well and he didn't send me for any other tests.  So I have become fairly confused any suggestions what is going on my with my body I am normally fairly fit and eat fairly healthy although lately McDonalds sounds amazing when it normally makes me sick.  I'm 23 years old 5 foot eight and only weigh 140 so my use to be abs shouldnt be jutting out past my chest I look like I'm six months.  I know my mother use to get assists that could explain therecently pain in my abdominal but not everything else however she also did get her period through three out of her five pregnancies.  Could I be even with a recent negative or does anyone know of anything else that could causTherese issues I feel silly going to talk to the doctor about everything at once.

Glad I'm not the only one going through all this!

I have read all of the replies in this topic and a lot of you are asking whether you can have 'normal menstral cycles'... My neighbour has four children with a 5th on the way. Her last 3 pregnancy's she was told by her GP that she had 'trapped wind' and all of her tests came back negative. She couldn't be absolutely sure until she gave birth, which would be terrifying for me!

So in answer to that question... yes you can have a normal menstral cylce throughout your pregnancy and unfortunately the tests aren't always correct!!

Incidentally, I'm at my GP's next week - we'll see what happens!!!

WOW! that is so weird!! i am going through this very thing!! my husband and i have been trying to get pregnant for 2yrs now and I have been having symptoms of being pregnant. the neasua, lower back pain, the dark tender nipples, the whole nine yards! i took a total of 6 home pregnancy tests and they were all negitive. I have had a chemical pregnancy before but this time its different i am 99.9% sure im accually pregnant this time!! i am going to the doctors on monday to have a blood pregnancy test done. i hope i can walk out of there a pregnant woman! :D good fortune for anyone else going through this! 

hi. at first, i didn't believe what my bf was telling me that there are cases when a girl still gets her period not knowing she's already pregnant. He was definitely a hopeful with what is happening to me. i am craving for weird foods, fruits which I never ever thought of eating. I have a small bump on my belly, which I try to correct my exercising and dieting. We have been hopeful since september this year. i did 2 PTs then, they were both negative. but he says I'm showing all the sign. He told me to take another test this month because he said he is getting all the weird feeling like he's the one acting pregnant. He also told me that there also those cases when the man suffers the early pregnancy symptoms, like the sympathetic pregnancy thing. He is still convincing me to take another Pt but I just laugh at him every time. I just finished my period but its a lot shorter than the usual. last 2 months, my period were both delayed, a lot and most of the time, they were all spotting. I bleed at some period of time, but its really fewer than my normal. I'm glad that i am not alone going through this thing. hope we all found answers to our queries.

I looked this up to find some answers...but im not quite sure what to do now...I am not on contriseptive, as it totally screwd up my insides...My husband and I do use condoms. We are financially not ready for a baby...but I've picked up a boep..but I cant believe it is in foods...It kinda popped up over night...its hard tho..its not a flabby fat boep..so im wondering, if it could be water retention. Also..im craving a lota salt...my tummy is very sore sometimes...I'm not feeling tired..as i play squash a lot..and I feel energised most of the day, unless my blood pressure drops. Which is what i suffer from, low blood pressure, which could maybe explain the salt cravings...Can salt bloat you?? Im not eating a ridiculous amount of it...its weird..i feel pregnant, cuz this boep to me, is just not a natural fat boep...I did do a pregnancy test..its negative...I am financially unable to go see a doctor at this point..so some advice would be great..and im still having my period...

With my first son I cant remember if I menstruated the first month or not.. but I know i had neg tests for 2 months!! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago.. Have been taking metformin for it which changes my hormone levels and helps periods and what not (also helps my fertility boost) This month my period was 3-4 days late!!! I am nauseous but hungry at the same time, my boobs have gotten bigger to the point I think I need new bra's, I was having twinges and weird ovary pressure/pain after ovulation time... My face is breaking out like it did with my first pregnancy... but I took 3 tests and they all said Neg, I got a positive 12 dpo but I think it was an evaporation line. Did you ever find out what was happening? I heard a lot of women do get their periods during pregnancy now, and many who do are because of the hormones being out of whack... (which could cause mine) Should I go get a blood test done?

oh p.s When i started this period, I did not cramp at all, no pain like normal... and its heavy, and Its typically 5 days, I am on day 5 now.. Not sure what to think right now.. I HATE pizza but thats ALLL i have been craving. I dont even like supreme pizza's but earlier I was craving a pizza with olives, whole tomatos, sausages, peppers.. thats just not like me at all.

Hi, I'm really glad i read all this, i now have courage to go for a test. I am experiencing the same thing right now. I saw my normal period last month, a week after i spotted for 2 days, first day pink color, very light and then brown color later. I try to find out and it was all describing implantation. i started experiencing heart born, indigestion,weakness, milk coming out of my breast when i press it lightly, softness at the nipple and corners of the nipple. right now i am not experiencing all these again keeping me in suspense. My husband is so excited that I'm afraid to tell him the new development. Was i pregnant and no more now or still pregnant. Also afraid to go and be disappointed by test.

Dear, sometimes it is possible. you may be pregnant or not but all you need to do is go for a blood test or a pelvic scan, at least this can proof something but if it also doesn't work then stay for some few more weeks. good luck! Maria (cuba)

I have been having unprotected sex since november, it is now february.  I really thought I was pregnant. Last month I had a backache for 2 and  a half weeks.My breasts were sore. But then my period came and it was like a normal period.  It just ended a couple of days ago and I have been feeling extremely tired.  I usually get up about 6am and for the past week I have been having a terrible time getting up.  Today I slept until almost noon, that never happens.  I have taken a urine test which was negative.  Could I be pregnant?
