Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Having Normal Menstrual Bleeding?
Question: Hi,
I had a brief intercourse with my partner in mid April during my ovulation days. I still got my period so I thought I was not pregnant. I got total of 2 periods after that but missed 3rd. I took a home urine pregnancy test on 9th day of missed period and it says positive. I am confused. Could I be pregnant and still having periods? We had little rubbing in XXXXXXX but no penetration. Can this be because of second time, but without penetration ?

Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy tests are 99% accurate
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are pregnant 99%. You should get an Ultrasound test done now to understand how many weeks you are.
You might have spotted and not bled as you were during your pregnancy. This is normal to spot or bleed by one pad.
Each ejaculate can have 100 million sperms. It takes one sperm to mate the egg and pregnancy results. That one sperm could have struggled to pass through the outer vagina and swim across the uterus into the tube for pregnancy. So you never underestimate rubbing.
NExt step is Ultrasound and this 100% confirms, and few tests after meeting a doctor. You can decide whether how do you go about the pregnancy.
