LeAnn,

This has been discussed many times so you might want to search the archives, but basically, the answer to your question is, no, you can not have a period if you are pregnant. The bleeding is from another source.....

If you think you may be pregnant, take a test and see (some docs recommend using the first morning urine as it is the most concentrated). You can talk to your Dr. about doing a blood test, which is more accurate.

Hope this helps.
