“How does your period look if you are pregnant?”

Usually if you are pregnant, you don't have a period. However, some women have spotting the month they find out about the pregnancy, which is either implantation of pregnancy bleeding or could be something more serious like bleeding because of ectopic pregnancy. It is best to see a doctor if your pregnancy is positive.

You shouldn't have a period if you're pregnant. If you're having some bleeding, you should talk to your doctor.

If you are pregnant, you will not be getting a period. If you miss your period or are late for your period, that is a good indication that you should do a pregnancy test and see a doctor for evaluation. Normally, the female hormones start rising until ovulation (the release of the egg) occurs. The rising hormones cause the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) to thicken and grow in order to be able to support a pregnancy. If pregnancy does not happen after ovulation, the hormones start to fall and shedding of the lining of the uterus happens. This shedding results in the bleeding that we call the period or menses. If pregnancy does occur, the endometrium does not shed and there is no period.
