pregnancy

[n1cola79]

is it really possible to be pregnant and still have a period?

[blackietwo]

yes

[n1cola79]

im not sure how to right this, cos i no i will get some smart answers. ive had 2 kids, and decided on a 3rd so have done the necessary preps (which i didnt with the other 2, kinda but not totally planned) and have felt like i did with the last 2 pregnancies so tooka test and it was neagative but when ive had this period its been only for 3 days and really light. i dont want to look a fool at the doctors if i ask them.
thanks for any genuine help.

[blackietwo]

Wait a few more days and repeat the test

[n1cola79]

[pinktwink]

[blackietwo]

No need to feel silly, we don't know unless we ask. tc

No...if you have had a NORMAL period you cannot be pregnant.

In the case of an ectopic pregnancy you may have a bleed which may resemble your period, but this scenario is extremely uncommon.

[Sqad]

Sorry I should have been more precise.

If you have had a NORMAL period within the last 2-3 weeks of a 28day cycle........then you cannot be pregnant.

Sorry for not being clear.

Hi Sqad, Sorry for butting in! But, I have known women who have still had their regular periods & were actually pregnant!

Yes, goes against Nature, but there You have it!! Who are we to question God??

Also Sqad, just wanted to tell you. Re my own problem, which I took Your advice on! - Went back to GP yesterday, and persisted she send me to Breast Clinic - as such!! So that is now in the pipe line!

Would not have done that, only I thought again about what YOU said, So thank YOU bird & I will let you know what happens next! - Long story about GP's delivery - but I still won the right to be forwarded on - so to speak! - because of what YOU said!

n1cola79, if you google up 'having a period when pregnant', there are lots of sites which will explain all about it. WikiAnswers.com i thought was a very explanatory one. i'd have put the link up...but i don't know how to :(

[cazzz1975]

surely a pregnancy test will show up levels of HCG? I would believe a negative test to be a negative, assuming you did not take the test too early

[n1cola79]

thanks very much for the site add will look it up now.
re the test i have done one the day before i was due on which was negative but it does say that things can change so i dont know. hopefully the site will help.

beauj...thanks for the feedback.......hope all goes well.
