We have been trying to get pregnant. I was one day late and got my period this morning but i cramping or any other signs of a can be pregnant?

It is theoretically possible to be pregnant and still get your period, though this would be considered very rare. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, which occurs when an egg has not been fertilized and implanted in the uterus. If an egg has been fertilized and implanted, the uterine lining will thicken and remain intact until the pregnancy ends.

Some women experience what is called implantation bleeding, which can occur around the time of their expected period. Implantation bleeding is light spotting that occurs when the fertilized egg burrows into the uterine lining. This bleeding is usually much lighter than a normal menstrual period and does not last as long.

If you are concerned that you may be pregnant, it is always best to take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests can detect the presence of a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine or blood. Home pregnancy tests can be purchased at most pharmacies and are very accurate when used correctly. If a home pregnancy test is negative, but you still think you may be pregnant, you should see a doctor for a blood pregnancy test.

Other signs and symptoms of early pregnancy include:

* Missed period: This is the most common sign of early pregnancy. However, some women may have a short period or spotting during early pregnancy.

* Breast tenderness: Your breasts may become swollen and tender, and your nipples may become darker and more erect.

* Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness): This is a common symptom of early pregnancy, but it does not occur in all women.

* Fatigue: You may feel tired and fatigued, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

* Frequent urination: You may need to urinate more frequently, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

* Food cravings or aversions: You may develop a craving for certain foods or an aversion to foods you used to enjoy.

If you are experiencing any of these signs and symptoms, it is important to take a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant. Early prenatal care can help to ensure a healthy pregnancy for you and your baby.
