    Yes you can but that isn't considered a period.

    Why? Are you pregnant and bleeding like a regular period?

    No you cannot ovulate whilst pregnant. Combined pill contraceptives work on this principle making your body think it is pregnant so that you do not ovulate.

    You can have bleeding which resembles a period, but technically isn't. However a period is a different stage of your cyle to ovulating.

    Have a look at his chart it shows the hormone present during your cycle and the levels.
    Image:MenstrualCycle2.png - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Not just before you ovulate your oestrogen levels dip causing a rise in Lutenising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. This makes you release an egg (ovulate).

    During pregnancy the oestrogen levels are maintained along with other hormones, they do not fall like at the end of a menstruation cycle. Pregnancy Hormones - WikiParenting
    Female hormones
    This will prevents subsequent ovualtion until the preganancy ends.

    EDIT

    I've finally found a graph of progesterone levels during preganacy!

    Pregnancy is designed to inhibit further ovulation. You may have already been pregnant as an early pregnancy can show up with an ovulation test. Do you happen to recall if the line that was as dark or darker than the control line? While a pregnancy test only has to show a line... even a very faint line, to be positive... an ovulation test has to show a line that is as dark or darker than the control line to be positive.
