Can you still bleed/have a period when pregnant?

Hi all,

I was just wondering whether you can still bleed a lot/have a period when you're pregnant. I'm 2 weeks late on my period and I'm getting cramps that feel like when I'm due to come on my period.

:)

Have you done a pregnancy test? I think you can expel old blood in the first while or have an implantation bleed when newly pregnant.

@Samind I haven't done a pregnancy test yet no, as I am convinced it will be a negative as these cramps feel like period cramps :( me and my partner have been ttc for 7 months and every month is a disappointment so far...

I had implantation cramps that felt like severe period pain. I assumed it was my period coming and that I wasn't pregnant.

Well if it's 2 weeks late, I'd maybe test. I had horrific cramps early pregnancy. Honestly thought something bad was happening but it was bean burrowing! I bled also and needed an early scan but all was thankfully well 😌 really wishing you luck and positive testing OP!

@Tailfeather were you due to come on when you were getting these cramps?

I can't remember precisely. It was right at the start and I was thinking I was pregnant so I was late but only by a few days.
