Is there any way you can be pregnant and still get your next period? If so, how can you tell the difference between this and a regular period? I heard that one girl was actually pregnant for like 3 months and didnt know cause she had been getting "fake periods". Could this happen to me? I'm not sure if I am pregnant. I still have to wait like a week and a half before i can take a pregnancy test. I'm supposed to be getting my period any day now or I could even be a few days late. I'm really stressing out over this. I dont want to get my period and think that I'm not pregnant and then 3 months later find out I am. Is this true??

Other signs of pregnancy besides missed periods are breast tenderness, adversion to certain foods, smells, drinks, and feeling nauseated. You can take a pregnancy test the day you miss your period, since hormones should be present if you are pregnant. If it is negative, take another test a few days later. My experience with pregnancy tests is that the cheapest ones work just as well, so get a couple cheap ones now. Free tests are available at Planned Parenthood Clinics and many Pro-life Free Clinics as well if you do not want to go to your regular physician. Pick whichever place you would feel most comfortable going.
Spotting during pregnancy can occur, but not always. Regular periods will not occur with normal pregnancy. If you are worried about pregnancy, than most likely you have had unprotected sex, and need to start regular visits to a doctor or medical facility of your choice for more information on protecting yourself from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. I can't stress enough how important it is to use condoms. The pill and other methods to prevent pregnancy do not protect against diseases. If you are sexually active, you need to take steps to ensure that you will be a healthy woman who can make good choices for herself now while you have so many opportunities. Life is too short to waste stressing over or suffering from consequences that are completely avoidable with a little effort! You are worth the hassle!

If you start your period on time, and nothing seems abnormal about it your fine. If you really just have to know if that it's a possibility for you, take a pregnancy test. If it comes out negative, then don't worry. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
