Pregnant with period?

Okay so i had sex twice in the end of october and then again the next week, and I took a pregnancy test about a week or two after and it was negative, but I was waiting for another two weeks to take the next one but i got my period on thanksgiving (nov. 26) and I've had my period ever since and its really heavy. So I was wondering can I still be pregnant? Should I take a pregnancy test even though I have my period? My period is super irregular and this is the first time I had it in 4 months. I'm super worried and I appreciate any advice

Re: Pregnant with period?

It's best to just wait till your period is over. If you take a pregnancy test while you're on your period, the results will be inaccurate. So just wait till your period is over, and then a couple days after...take another pregnancy test or two and that should be your result. In the meantime, I'd keep mental notes on any abnormal feelings that you have (like sensitive breasts) and just take it easy on yourself and wait till your period is over. Don't jump to conclusions...although it wouldn't be a bad idea to brainstorm a general idea that if you ARE pregnant, THIS is how you'll deal with it.

Re: Pregnant with period?

It is very very very unlikely to have bleeding that heavy while being pregnant without something being wrong. If you are having an actual period I really doubt you are pregnant (which it sounds like you are since you aren't complaining of weird abdominal pains... not just regular cramps... fever, nausea, things like that). If it makes you feel better, take another test when the bleeding stops but I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I had extremely irregular bleeding for years where I would bleed for weeks at a time, then not bleed again for a couple of months. But it will straighten out eventually. Mine did when I got on the pill.

Getting on birth control would not only regulate your periods but it would ease your mind a little about pregnancy after having sex.

Woo! Imagination xD

i think you should go and see your doctor. It is quite possible you miscarried early in the pregnancy. if you're worried, seeing your GP wuld be a good idea.

Thank you all so much, my mother is taking me to the doctors this week but i'm afraid she might tell me bad news (i.e. pregnant) in front of my mother which would be horrific. Should i tell my mom to cancel it and take a pregnancy test when my period goes away?

Having a doctor tell whether you're pregnant or not is the most accurate way to know, while there's a lot of complications with pregnancy tests. Just suck it up and go to the doctor. The most important thing is that you'll find out the truth and be able to take the most appropriate actions towards handling that situation.
