is it possible to be pregnant.. probably over thinking it
I am having unprotected sex. i was reading about how a person can have normal periods for a while during pregnancy and don't have symptoms until later into the pregnancy.. i have gained weight but i still have my period could i be pregnant. i guess its a possibility, but at the same time i'm probably just worrying myself. i am not that worried if i am, what i would be worried about is that neither me or my boyfriend haven't found job in this stupid economy and we live separate from each other in our own families... i could just be getting fat and that's why i gained weight obviously.. but whatever.. thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Get a pregnancy test from a doctor or clinic. They're more accurate than home tests. Some women experience spotting or bleeding during pregnancy, which can be harmless or a sign of a miscarriage. Or you could just be having your period and not actually be pregnant at all.
Keep in mind that contraception is WAY cheaper than having a child. Places like Planned Parenthood base your co-pay for the pill off of your income (it might even be free) and generics are wicked cheap under most insurance policies. Use protection from now on unless you two are ready to be parents.

It's called 'spotting' where you release menstrual-like fluids regularly every month, but yes it can appear as if you're having your period even if you are pregnant.
Best way to know would be to either get a pregnancy test from your local chemist/pharmacy, or to go to your doctor. If you try the pregnancy test and it says negative, and if you still feel worried, go to your doctor. They'll be able to give you a more conclusive result.
If you don't want to worry about getting pregnant, I would suggest using protection from now on.
