Is it possible to have menstruation while pregnant?

One common sense that women should know, whether they have had pregnancy experience or not, is that it is impossible for women to have menstruation when they are pregnant. Because the phenomenon of menstruation is closely related to women's endocrine system and the uterus, pregnancy disrupts women's endocrine system. So there will be no menstruation, but some women have found bleeding in the lower body during pregnancy, and they wonder if they will still have menstruation during pregnancy?

Is it possible to have menstruation during pregnancy? The first symptom after pregnancy is amenorrhea. Generally, if the menstruation is delayed for ten days and the possibility of pregnancy is considered, an ultrasound examination should be done. Only when a gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity under ultrasound can it be diagnosed as an intrauterine pregnancy. If vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain occur after pregnancy, it is mostly considered to be caused by miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. You need to go to the hospital immediately. An ultrasound examination can usually make a clear diagnosis. Sexual intercourse is also prohibited in the early stages of pregnancy. Because the fertilized egg is not yet very stable in the uterine cavity at this time, having sex at this time may promote uterine contraction and lead to the possibility of miscarriage.

Will I still have my period during early pregnancy?

Generally speaking, the first sign that a woman is pregnant is amenorrhea. Normally, women will no longer have menstruation after becoming pregnant. A married or sexually active woman with a normal menstrual cycle should consider the possibility of pregnancy if her menstruation is delayed, but this is not absolute. A small number of women still experience vaginal bleeding on the date of their next menstrual period after becoming pregnant. This type of menstruation after pregnancy is called "pregnancy menstruation."

Its characteristics are less bleeding, lighter color, shorter duration, and it is different from any previous menstruation. In fact, this is not true menstruation. This phenomenon usually occurs within 3 months of pregnancy and usually only occurs once. Some pregnant women also experience it 2 to 3 times.

1. Because the fertilized egg implantation is not stable, the placenta has not been formed, and the menstrual period is approaching or has arrived, a mature egg will still be discharged and then discharged from the body along with the shedding of the endometrium, causing a small number of pregnant women to think they are menstruating.

2. Due to individual differences and other reasons, some women's ovaries secrete relatively low levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, after pregnancy, causing a small part of the endometrium to continue to shed. Therefore, these women will still have menstruation after pregnancy, but the amount of menstruation will be much less than normal. It is not until three months into pregnancy that the placenta is formed and the estrogen and progesterone levels in the female body are maintained at a relatively high level. At this time, the endometrium no longer sheds and menstruation no longer occurs.
