<human>: Can you have your period And be pregnantIve been trying to get pregnant this last 2 Months This last past month I have started to spot about the last 2 days of August And then from there I have a regular period  With very bad cramps so my question is can you still be pregnant and have a regular period
<bot>: Hi, Absence of menstruation or missing a period is the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy. However, few women do get some amount of bleeding during early pregnancy at or around the expected date of menstruation. This used to be known as placental sign in good old days. Your history of the spotting followed by menstrual bleeding does not seem to suggest the possibility of pregnancy. However, you may confirm the diagnosis by:1. Pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample about a week after the first day of your so-called menstruation; earlier these tests may report false negative results. 2. Alternatively you may opt for Beta Chat Doctor test on the blood 10 days after last unprotected intercourse. Values above 25 mid/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mid/ml. I am sure, this should resolve your dilemma. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
