Could you be pregnant if had a period?

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and still have a period. This is known as a breakthrough bleed and can occur for several reasons.

Implantation bleeding: Sometimes, when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of the uterus, it can cause a small amount of bleeding. This bleeding usually occurs around the time when you would expect your period and can be mistaken for a regular period.

Hormonal changes: Early pregnancy can cause hormonal changes that can affect your menstrual cycle. These changes can cause you to have irregular bleeding or spotting, which can be mistaken for a period.

Subchorionic hematoma: This is a condition in which there is bleeding behind the placenta. This can cause spotting or bleeding that can be mistaken for a period.

If you are concerned that you may be pregnant even though you have had a period, it is important to take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests can be purchased at most drug stores and can provide you with a quick and accurate answer.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy, it is always best to speak with your doctor.
