Can you be pregnant even though you have your period??
How is that possible??

The answer is no - here's some very good information: Can you get your period while you're pregnant? | BabyCenter (http://www.babycenter.com/404_can-you-get-your-period-while-youre-pregnant_7102.bc)

"We" take pride in the accuracy of our answers on the legal, tax, medical (and other) Boards. These are not discussion boards but are factual - not opinion.

You apparently didn't read the information I posted so let me explain: "Menstruation only happens when you're not pregnant: Each month, your uterus grows a thick blood-rich lining in preparation for an egg to embed there. If you don't get pregnant that month, you shed this tissue and blood – that's your menstrual period.

But once an egg embeds in the uterine lining, hormones tell the blood-rich tissue to stay intact to support the growing baby. And you won't shed it and start having your period again until your pregnancy is over.

Then why do some women bleed during pregnancy?

Bleeding occurs during pregnancy for various reasons, some serious and some not.

Some women have light bleeding or spotting very early in pregnancy – around the time their period is due – and they may mistake that for a period. This so-called "implantation bleeding" may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of the uterus. It's generally a lot lighter than a typical period and lasts just a day or two.

You may have spotting after a Pap smear, vaginal exam, or sex. This is because there's more blood going to your cervix during pregnancy.

Bleeding can also be a sign of something seriously wrong, such as a miscarriage."

The person who asked the question was counting on correct information, and your post is incorrect.
