Pregnancy can occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. This is because sperm can live in the body for up to five days, and if a woman ovulates soon after her period, then conception could take place from intercourse that occurred during her period.

Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a “normal” period. Some women can confuse this for their period because often it can come right around the time she was expecting her normal period. The irregular bleeding or spotting that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown color or a light pinkish. It should not be enough bleeding to fill pads or tampons over a few days.

The short answer is no. Your period is the (usually) monthly sloughing of the lining of the uterus. During the early part of your cycle, the lining grows in response to increasing hormones. After ovulation, the lining matures and prepares itself for implantation of the fertilized egg (blastocyst). When conception does not occur, the drop in hormones causes the shedding of the uterine lining (your menses). See similar questions...

This question is asked by every health care entity of female patients who are of childbearing age. Any medications that are prescribed to you by your provider have the potential to cross the placenta barrier and do irreparable damage to an unborn fetus. Many women may not know that they are pregnant and if they have taken a category C or D medication as described by the FDA run the risk of stillbirths, or multiple birth deformities of their baby.

A period is one name for the monthly bleeding or menstrual cycle of reproductive aged women. The period happens because pregnancy did not happen and the lining of the uterus, which got thick with blood to prepare for pregnancy, is lost because it is not needed. Because of the bleeding the lining becomes thin and needs to be repaired by the body. More hormones will make the lining thick to prepare again to become pregnant. The whole point of having periods is to be able to get pregnant. See similar questions...
