I should just take a pregnancy test or go
to my ob instead of posting my
question...
Here's the deal...My period came the day
after I had sex with my husband. We've
not been using any kind of protection (we
want to have a baby), but because my
period came the day after we had
intercourse does this mean that more than
likely i'm not pregnant? I've read all
sorts of things in regards to this
subject, but no one seems to know for sure
if you can really have a period if you're
pregnant. I've heard that some people
have light bleeding or spotting, but my
period was about 5 days early (i'm usually
pretty regular), and then it only lasted
for 4 days (it usually lasts for 5 or 6
days). If anyone has good, medical
reasoning or explanations or suggestions,
please let me know. Thank you!

Yes u can have periods while preg. I had
a friend who had one for the first 3
months. And there was a post on here
about a girl who had it for her entire
preg. Not usual, but is poss. I'd say
keep looking for signs!

I wonder if the little things i've been
noticing is just me being hopeful (or if
it's coincidence) or if i'm truly
pregnant. I urinate a lot, I feel so
tired throughout the day, and I cramp a
little in my abdominal area.

Could be. I thought I was preg about a
month ago. Turns out it was the flu
making my body all wierd. It was in my
head.

Ok, so tell me this...When is the best
time to try to get pregnant? I've heard
it's a certain number of days before your
period and then other people say that no,
it's after your period.

Im just curious about how the women who
have periods during their preg. Find out
their preg? My breast get swollen and
sore before my period, then go back to
normal once it starts. For women who
have their period during preg. Do their
breast stay larger and sore after their
period ends? And how do you find out
your preg. If your having your period??
Because I know a lot of pms symptoms are
the same as preg. Symptoms.
Ive read its really not a period, its just
some bleeding.

I'd like to know that, too, jar81. I'm
tempted to go buy a pregnancy test today
and end this thing once and for all!

You should just take a hpt to ease your
mind. Im always worried about pregnancy
and take tests just to ease my mind.
Although I haven't had sex since sept.6,
and had a blood preg test done on oct.21
which came back neg., im still worried im
preg. Even though I had a period on
sept.21 & oct.20, and just started
bleeding today. However, I am on bcp,
use condoms, and my fiance has a condition
that may prevent him from having children.
But of course I still worry as soon as I woke
up today my breast didnt hurt any more and
their pretty much back to normal size,
(happend all the other times), so im
guessing if I were preg. They would still
be swollen and sore.
If you go to allexperts.Com, you can
personally ask someone (professional or
expert your ques.) id suggest asking Dr.
Lawrence jay rappaport m.D. In the
health/gyno section. He usually gives
very clear and informative answers.
I.E. "since you got your period on
sept.20 and again on oct.20, and you have
not had intercourse since your last
period, you cannot be preg....
"if you get a period, you are not
pregnant"
"if you have a normal 28 day cycle (from
the first day of your period until the
first day of your next period) ovulation
occurs on cycle day #14. You can only
become preg. If you have unprotected sex
on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16. You
cannot become preg. On any other day of
the cycle."
even webmd, has a lot of informative ppl.
Most say though, if you have a period
than most likely your not preg.
Im not trying to upset you, im just trying
to clarify for you (and myself), that its
almost impossible to have a period and be
preg. But I guess its not totally
impossible. So I would take a test and
if you still think you are, see your
doctor.
Hope some of this helps.
Best of luck!

Thanks so much for your help, jar81. I

just go buy a preg. Test to ease my mind.
Thanks again!

I don't know if my question relates to
this topic ... But I had unprotected sex
last thursday, and I got my period on
saturday --2 days after. I have a
regular 28-day cycle, and saturday was
exactly the 28th day. Is it still
possible to get pregnant even after
getting my period? What are the early
symptoms of pregnancy? Please help! I
was going to take ecs, but since I got my
period, many people said that I don't need
to take emergency contraceptive. But is
it still possible to get pregnant? I do
want to have a baby .. But not yet ...
Maybe in a few years. If any of you know
anything, and would reply to this message,
i'd really appreciate it... Thanks.

Yeh I enquired on the website, this is
he's reply to my situation...
My situation: I had unprotected sex with
my girlfriend on the second day of her
period (sic I know, but don't flame). It
only lasted 5 min and we stopped, only
pre-cum.
Lawrence answered: he doesn't believe that
there is a chance of pregnancy to occur on
the second day. Only when unprotected sex
occurs on days #12 #13 #14 #15#16 (around
those days) you can get pregnant. Not
even hormone alteration can get you
pregnant. (he was refering to a 28 day
cycle)
one thing I don't get about this answer is
what about the people who got pregnant
during their periods... Perhaps some of
these people didn't have their period, but
rather ovulation bleeding mistaken for
their periods?

Periods In Pregnancy Posted: 03-11-05 05:07am
I dont know if anyone knows the answer to
this one. I thought I may have been
pregnant about 2 months ago, since then,
my periods have been all over the place I
have no idea anymore when my period is
coming, as my breasts are sore pretty much
all the time. My periods, are lighter
than usual, and only last for about 3-4
days, when I used to be on a period for
about 5-6 days, sometimes longer. I have
done a test but it is negative, but the
reason I am unsure, is that my nan had
periods throughout all her pregnancies,
from start to end, is it hereditry. I
know it sounds stupid that I have done a
test and it is negative, and I am still
wondering, but if it is some sort of
hormone imbalance, would the hormone show
anyway? I am completely confused now, my
periods are more irregular now, than when
I came off of the pill 3 years ago.

I suggest you don't listen to "dr."
rappaport. He has been giving false
information! You do not always ovulate
on day 14, you do not always have a 14 day
lp... I can go on and on with the false
info he has been spewing. Get "taking
charge of your fertility" or go to
fertilityfriend.Com for better info.

Oh god this is ridiculous!!! Ladies you
do not get your actual period when
pregnant.....Erase that word ! You may
get bleeding which is not ytour
period....And no not everyone ovulates on
day 14 even with a 28 day cycle...
as soon as I woke
up today my breast didnt hurt any more and
their pretty much back to normal size,
(happend all the other times), so im
guessing if I were preg. They would still
be swollen and sore.
