Is It Possible To Have Periods & Still Be Pregnant?

Hi, just wanted a bit of advice. A week before I was due on my period, I started feeling a little strange, & getting a spotting bleed, & cramps in my lower abdomen. I thought nothing much of it & thought it was cos AF was on the way. Have now had AF, but have started to experience more pregnancy symptoms, my breasts & nipples are extremely tender, I'm getting changing moodswings, being more tired than usual, needing to use the toilet more than normal, & feeling very sick most mornings, & at odd times throughout the day. I thought since I've had AF I can't be pregnant, have already taken a HPT, which showed negative, but is it possible to have periods & still be pregnant? Any advice greatly appreciated. I'm 23, of a healthy weight, & a clean medical history, with no known hereditary family illnesses. Many thanks in advance. Claire

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) No. It is not possible to be pregnant while having periods.

2) With HPT being negative, the chances of pregnancy are not there.

3) Dont worry about pregnancy.
