[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robin Lee: [QB] Hi Kandice, No, it's not possible to have a period during pregnancy, as a period is what we call the bleeding that's part of a menstrual cycle, and the menstrual cycle stops when pregnancy begins. Some people do experience bleeding during pregnancy, but the bleeding is for other reasons. Yes, you're right; If there was the amount of bleeding that there is during a period during pregnancy that wouldn't make a pregnancy possible. A period completely sheds the uterine lining, and the uterine lining is what is needed during pregnancy. Plus, someone experiencing bleeding during pregnancy is unlikely to experience it at the same time and for the same duration as they experience their periods; again, because the menstrual cycle has stopped. So, having two periods since the sexual activity you're concerned about is really a great sign that you're not pregnant, but the only way to really know, rather than analyzing the amount of blood that comes out with your period, is to take a pregnancy test. :) So, if you're still feeling worried about this, that would be your next step. Would you like to also talk about birth control methods you can use in addition to condoms? Using two methods reduces risk further, and acts as insurance should one method be compromised, such as with a condom breaking. [/QB][/QUOTE]
