Can you be pregnant if you still have your period?
Question Posted Thursday March 1 2007, 3:30 pm
My fiance and I have been trying to have a baby for awhile now. I got my period twice last month and have been feeling some symptoms of pregnancy. I've heard that you can be pregnant if you have your period, but is that really true? If so, how will you know for sure if you are pregnant? If you have your period and you take a test, would it cancel out the hormones that the test detects because I have my period?Any help at all would be extremely helpful.

Your doctor can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt whether you are pregnant. Make an appointment and have it checked out. It's probably worth the cost of the visit to be sure - and incidentally, if you haven't had a consultation with your gynecologist about your pregnancy plans yet, you should do that as well. He/she can give you valuable advice about ways to increase your chance of conception, which prenatal vitamins to take, and other useful information.
