Anyone have periods while pregnant?

Been TTC for three months now and last month I think I got my period but it was much much lighter and lasted less than 2 days vs the normal/heavy 4-5 days, took a few tests and all were negative. After a week I took it as a random other period and began to try again.
Yesterday I woke to blood when i wiped and some cramps so I stuck a tampon in and went to work. Usually on the first day of my period I have to change my tampon around midday, around 4-5 hours after I put it in before it gets full but this time it had barely soaked anything up. I still put a tampon in but felt weird, not at all how I usually feel on my period. Fast forward to 6pm when I get home I check the tampon and it was again barely soaked.

I want to add that I had been feeling nauseated all day and all night and went to bed at around 10pm which is massively unheard of for me. Today the tampon was completely soaked after roughly 10 hours sleep and full but i still feel nauseated from the moment I woke up. I was speaking to my colleague at work about it and she had full normal periods with both her pregnancies until she was 5 months gone.

I know its highly unlikely that I'm pregnant but I just want to know if anyone else had a full period while they were pregnant? I took a test yesterday morning before I wiped which was negative.

If you're pregnant, it's not a period, except for some extremely rare circumstances like women with two uteruses. Lots and lots of women bleed through pregnancies though. Surely the only way to answer your question is to take a pregnancy test in a few days?

To be honest these bleeds sound like the breakthrough bleeds I used to have when I was having anovulatory cycles. Which might be the reason you are struggling to conceive. Speak to your GP if you think this could be you.

I swear I did. I have really really light periods that only last a day or two any way. I had my normal 2 day period the 30/31st May 2020. But my dating scan put me down as having conceived early May which is impossible. My husband wasn't even here! The midwife's just kept saying vague things like "nature finds a way" Angry
