is it possible to have your normal period
and be pregnant and not know it. And after
you have ur period can u test positive on
blood test for pregnancy.
It is not possible to have a normal period
(menstruation) and be pregnant
simultaneously. Women become pregnant
after a menstrual period finishes and
before another cycle begins. Pregnancy can
be confirmed by a pregnancy test (at most)
5 days before an expected period.
If you have a positive pregnancy test soon
after your period finishes, two
possibilities exist to explain the
positive test:
1. You may have had a miscarriage without
knowing that you were pregnant. In this
case, a pregnancy test-result will become
negative in a few days.
2. Your "period” wasn’t caused by
menstruation, but by some other vaginal
bleeding.
A visit to a gynecologist will help make
the situation clear.
