Can I menstruate while pregnant? I had not taken a pregnancy test but was convinced by symptoms that am pregnant. While happy about it, I then had my monthly periods. I am afraid to take the test because I'm not ready for a negative response. I want a child for my husband as we got married in December last year.

You are wasting your time if you think there are "pregnancy symptoms" those are old wives tales.

Either take a test or assume you aren't.

However to answer your question... you don't menstruate while pregnant... a very small percentage of women do... experience what is properly called False Periods...
