Pregnant and having menses but is that possible? It is extremely frequent for women to experience vaginal bleeding that seems like a period, but is actually the result of something else. 

Gynecologists clarified that it is not possible to have a menstrual cycle while pregnant, because a period is the shedding of uterus lining that is not needed for pregnancy.



Menstruation solely occurs in ladies of reproductive age who aren't pregnant.

During each menstrual cycle, the uterus builds up a lining of blood, ready for an embryo to implant itself and start growing.

If an embryo does implant, the blood lining stays intact. That is because, once the egg implants, hormones send signals to the tissue in the uterus, telling it that cushion of blood is necessary for the pregnancy.

If no eggs are fertilized, the tissue and blood shed.

Reasons why you may bleed during pregnancy

You may bleed while pregnant , however you can not monthly menses.

In fact, female athletes are particularly at-risk for bleeding during pregnancy because regular heavy exercise has been shown to affect the regularity of ovulation.

Implantation Bleeding

After the sperm fertilizes the egg and becomes an embryo, the embryo moves down to the uterus to implant itself into the uterus wall.

This implantation can be imperfect, and causes a little bit of blood to shed down through the vagina.

Usually, this implantation error only triggers light bleeding - much lighter than a regular menstrual cycle.

Irregular ovulations
Few women have a perfectly regular period that comes at the exact same time of the month every month, bleeding the exact same amount, and lasting the exact same number of days.
