Very confused - can you have a period and be pregnant?

I am very confused! On day 8 of my normal cycle (ie 4-5 day period) I used a digital ovulation test and it came up with a but then did it for the next 6 days. My persona told me that I was ovulation on day 9 and 10 (second month of use). I called up the helpline to find out why so many smiley faces and they told me it is a possibility I could be pregnant (this would be wonderful!) So I have done 2 cheap pregnancy tests and they have both come out as positive (all this in the last hour so still in shock!). But I have only just had a period. Is it possible to have a period while pregnant as surely day 15 of a cycle would be too early to tell normally??

oh yes, congratulations. Twiglett is right, you can't have a false positive.

I would say the last one is probably a false period so count the pg from period before that

sorry .. yes it is possible to still have what seem like periods when pregnant (its not usual but is possible)

you can have a false negative but you can't have a false positive .. and you've had 2

looks like you're preggers

Could you have conceived last month? Some women continue to have periods while pg. I have had small bleeds before/during doing a positive pg test.
