Does this happen

That is why I put the word “period” in quotes. It’s not an actual period, but a lot of women mistake it for one and think they are not pregnant because of it.

You can still get a “period” when you are pregnant. I had 3 into my pregnancy with my son .

She still needs to take a pregnancy test, although if this was recently it is probley too soon. Tell her to wait 2 weeks, or wait until her next period is due and take 2 pregnancy test. You should always take more than one just be sure.

I just wanted to clarify, because you used the word “period” instead of bleeding.

thx for your response Angelfire, and mandyloo anyways

I would just like to recant what mandyloo said without getting into a huge argument. It is true that women can bleed while being pregnant, but it is NOT a menstrual period. Pregnancy and menstruation cannot take place at the same time. You cannot have your period and continue to be pregnant, but you can experience vaginal bleeding, or early pregnancy bleeding and continue to be pregnant. Implantation bleeding can also occur but the bleeding is NOT a menstrual cycle. Remember when an egg gets fertilized it attaches itself to the thick lining of the uterine wall, resulting in pregnancy, if there’s no fertilization, there’s no pregnancy and no need for that thick lining to nourish a pregnancy. The egg dies and the uterus releases the blood and tissue. That lining is your period. So it is impossible for pregnancies & periods to work simultaneously.
