Can you be pregnant if you've had a period?

Me and my partner had unprotected sex around ovulation. A week later for two days sometimes when I wiped I had brown clumps. My period then started but it's incredibly watery. My sense of smell has heightened, I feel nauseous at random times of the day, usually in the morning and then again around 4pm. I haven't thrown up yet but I've been gagging a lot. I've had no pain with the period but I do usually get cramps. I'm also shattered constantly.

It probably wasn’t a period. You can’t be pregnant and get a “true” period but you can get bleeding regularly while pregnant too. I would think I was pregnant if this was me

@Lydia I should've probably added, I'm not actually due on until the end of the month either but I just assumed it'd started early

Sounds like implantation bleeding x

Have you tested ? Could be implantation bleeding . Could have been a chemical pregnancy 💜

@Gilly I've not taken a test yet as I just assumed I couldn't/wouldn't be pregnant due to the bleeding, I'll have to get a test though

You can do an early predictor. Although, mine came back negative with my now 2 year old 😂

It's always possible to get pregnant. I conceived my youngest while I was 5 weeks pregnant. I had miscarried the first one and have suffered multiple so I know for myself by week 2 post miscarriage I'll have a negative test. Something kept telling me I was pregnant and I didn't want it to be wishful thinking so took a test and it came back positive, had a scan which confirmed I was pregnant just the yolk sac in there so they didn't know how far I went back a few weeks later I was about 8 weeks at this point, we worked out the dates I did the deed end of jan, assuming i couldnt get pregnant becauss i already was😅conceived Feb 4th, miscarried the other Feb 17th

Had similar with my first pregnancy too I was about 7 weeks pregnant did the deed and miscarried about a week after, so almost 8 weeks. In the week of my miscarriage I ovulated and conceived my twins for the sex we had 1 week prior

@Ally I'll see if I can buy a test this week. I'm sorry for your losses x

it can be psychosomatics, I would let it go for now and act accordingly if I’m late. just don’t stress yourself out 💪🏻

Sometime this week?! You’re more patient than me lol I’d have to know immediately 😅

My "period" was actually implantation bleeding apparently so I was very shocked when I found out 🙈😂

Technically no But there’s a possibility there was another cause to the bleeding like implantation ext and you are pregnant

@Sorrel Unfortunately no shops in walking distance stock them so I need to have a conversation with my partner about the possibility and then we can go get one as I don't drive. We had a conversation after the unprotected sex but when I started bleeding I was like "Not this time" but yeah 😂

You can buy them online from amazon, just an idea so you don't have to traipse around trying to find some x

Ah that’s a pain, hopefully you don’t have to wait too long🤞🏽Good luck when you do test!

I've managed to get a test but when would be best to do it? I've obviously not missed a period yet so I'm not sure?

Maybe wait till tomorrow morning when it’s most concentrated

Yeah I'd say first thing in the morning but if you haven't missed a period yet it might be negative but you could still be pregnant. Is it an early predictor one? X

I had my regular period for 5 days while pregnant. Idk how but i did. I also had really really heavy bleeding the last day and bled though my pad, panties and pants. My daughter is now 2 and healthy as a horse haha

Always do it with the first wee of the morning. That's when the HCG are highest.

I didn’t get a positive test until 7 days after my implantation bleeding so if you test too soon it might not show up yet

Just done a test this morning and it's definitely negative but also just been sick

I'd test again a couple days before your period is due xx

Oh no hope you’re not feeling too sick 😔 when are you actually due?

@Sorrel I'm due on 28th

Oh I thought you were a bit closer than that. Could be that it is too early a week before you’re due. Or sometimes could just be a weird month. Really hope you get the outcome you want x
