You can have your period and still be pg. I have had three friends who
have gotten there periods and still been pg. It's possible to have your
period and still be pg but it's rare. but I definetly do say no doctor
should prescribe narcotics for people who are pg. So the doctor must
not think she is pg because she/he prescribed your friend with narcotics
which is bad especially just for "headache"
