Pregnant despite the period. Is that possible? Don’t know if you can be pregnant even though you’re on your period? You’ll find the answer here!
Recognize pregnancy
Can you be pregnant even though you have your period? Many are familiar with the problem: You feel strange and have the typical symptoms of pregnancy, but you have your period as usual. Can you still be pregnant? In this article, you will find out the answer! You will also find out which natural contraceptive methods are available and what they are good for.
1) Symptoms of pregnancy
The most common symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. Other typical signs include nausea, cravings, constant tiredness, tightness in the breasts, abdominal pain, unusual cravings, increased urination, heavy discharge, and feminine intuition
If you’ve noticed some of these traits in yourself even though you’re having your period, as usual, consider the next few points.
2) Why don’t you usually have a period when you’re pregnant?
Ovulation occurs once a month. This means that an egg is on its way to the uterus to be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized, it soon leaves the body mixed with blood through the uterus. That’s called a period. However, once the egg has been fertilized, you will no longer have your period because it does not need to be passed. Once you are pregnant, ovulation will no longer take place. So you can’t get your period when you’re pregnant.
3) Can I still bleed and be pregnant?
Yes, you can be pregnant even though you are bleeding. However, this is not menstrual bleeding, but either implantation bleeding or hormonal bleeding.
4) What should I do if I think I’m pregnant?
It is best to do a pregnancy test first. You can buy pregnancy tests, for example, from Rossmann, DM, or in the pharmacy. A test costs about 6 to 8 euros.
Pregnancy is only detected in the urine 14 days after fertilization. It is best to take the pregnancy test with morning urine. Otherwise, you should follow the package insert. Such tests are relatively safe and accurate. You should consider in advance whether you would like to have a friend with you to support you.
5) The test is positive, now what?
If the test is positive, you should not despair. The test may not have worked correctly and you may not actually be pregnant. You should make an appointment with the gynecologist immediately. He can tell you with certainty whether you are pregnant or not.
6) The test was negative but I still feel pregnant?
If you think you are pregnant despite a negative test, wait a few days and don’t worry. If you still have the symptoms by then, it may make sense to do another pregnancy test or go straight to the gynecologist. There may also be other health problems behind your symptoms.
7) I really am pregnant, what should I do now?
Stay calm. If you don’t want the child, there would be an option to abort it. However, you should think carefully about such a decision. Remember that for every problem there is a solution.
Remember not to despair. No matter what you choose, you will have people around you who will stand behind you and support you!
