    It sounds unlikely that you are pregnant. Many times PMS can mimic pregnancy symptoms. If you doubt the accuracy of the test, take another or call your dr for a more thorough exam.

    No, If you started your period you are not pregnant. And a test confirms it. Periods can vary by a week or so either way. Your period won't necessarily come every four weeks every time. Mine comes about every five weeks or so. It sounds like you probably really want to get pregnant and are also pretty young. When you are first pregnant, for the first six weeks or so, there are almost no symptoms. Mainly psychological. At that point, the zygote is nothing but a bunch of cells, and they don't even attach to the uterine wall for the first three days or so. When you have your period, the entire uterine lining is shed, along with any unfertilized eggs. If you are still unsure though, you can always get blood test from your doctor. Definitely do so if you miss the next period... and don't get it.

    I'm 25. And I have two kids already and I was feeling sick at four weeks cause I saw the doctor at six weeks.
    And I know two people that had their period while pregnant.
    At first I didn't want to be, but now I kind of do

    That would be vaginal bleeding from the cervix being irritated. You can't get your period while you are pregnant because that's called miscarrying.

    Not necessarily true, a lot of women actually have periods while they are pregnant. It's rare but it can happen.

    I looked it up cause I was wondering... I mean I can be wrong. Here's a link Pregnancy Resource: Periods During Pregnancy

    It explains what that blood is actually from, seems like a period but its not. And you should go to the doctor if you do bleed during pregnancy because it could be an ectopic pregnancy or there could be a problem like placenta previa or a loss of life

    Was this period you had like all of your others? While you won't technically have a period if pregnant, you can have some bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy. Some women will have bleeding farther into their pregnancies. Often the bleeding will be slightly different from their usual period however... maybe coming at a different time, lighter flow, lasting fewer days, for example.

    Symptoms can start very early on for some women due to the hormone changes alone. While most won't, some women will feel these even before a missed period, but many symptoms can be similar to what you might experience with a period as well. These don't always have to be the same as what you are used to however. So experiencing something different from your norm may occur once in awhile.

    You could just wait until your next period is due and see what happens. If you go to the doctor's they will likely do a urine test or you can just do this at home in several more days if you are still feeling possible symptoms.

    My best friend recently found out she is 4 mo pregnant and she has had her period. The only reason she went to the dr is because she was sick to her stomach all the time. The baby is fine and so is my friend. So you can still have your period while pregnant
