It is possible to be pregnant and get your period. This leads some women to hold onto hope that they may still be pregnant, even after Aunt Flo knocks at the door. Feeling pregnant on your period could happen due to:. If your period is very different than your usual, then you may want to take a pregnancy test or call your doctor. For example, you might consider taking a pregnancy test if your period is:.
There are non-pregnancy reasons to have an off period. Anything from stress to illness can cause one irregular menstrual cycle. Pregnancy symptoms plus spotting can lead many trying-to-conceive women to worry about early miscarriage.
Spotting is a possible early pregnancy symptom. Spotting that occurs about seven to 10 days post ovulation is sometimes called implantation spotting. Whether it's actually caused by an embryo implanting into the uterine lining is questionable. Spotting can also be caused by things other than pregnancy. Here's some good news. Not experiencing pregnancy symptoms does not mean you're not pregnant. In fact, there are some lucky women out there who don't experience morning sickness and other discomforts during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Feeling sick is not a pregnancy requirement. Pregnancy symptoms can come and go from day to day. They can also fluctuate from hour to hour.
You may feel tired and nauseated in the morning but feel pretty alright in the early afternoon. You may also get used to some of the symptoms, or learn how to handle them better. Also, as the first trimester ends, some of the initial discomforts of pregnancy fade or disappear.
Morning sickness, for example, usually ends by the 12th week. If you have a history of miscarriage and your symptoms suddenly disappear, you may still want to contact your doctor. They may be able to run some tests to reassure you.
If symptoms disappear, and you're spotting or cramping, then you should contact your doctor. Before you panic, though, know that this can also turn out to be normal. If we could just feel whether we're pregnant or not, it sure would cut down the anxiety of the two-week wait! However, the symptoms of early pregnancy are practically indistinguishable from any normal premenstrual symptoms. Remind yourself that whether you feel pregnant or not, it doesn't mean anything.
Some women are sure they are pregnant, complete with throwing up in the morning, and then find out they're not. Some women feel absolutely nothing and find out they're pregnant after all. The only way to know if you're pregnant is to wait until your period is late and take a pregnancy test.
If an at-home pregnancy test still leaves you with questions, see your doctor. Get diet and wellness tips to help your kids stay healthy and happy.

I Accept Show Purposes. Why am I peeing as per usual? Why does nothing hurt? Something must have happened to the baby after that positive pregnancy test. Or maybe it was all a big mistake, that pregnancy test, that doctor confirmation. Every mom and every pregnancy, like every baby that follows, is different.
Some get hit hard by a few, some tussle with one or two. To confuse the picture even more, second pregnancies can present a completely different set of symptoms — debilitating nausea and vomiting in the first, then, not a queasy moment. A positive test is always more likely to be reliable than a negative one, especially in those too-early-to-call days before you miss a period. Better still: an early ultrasound that shows a fetal heartbeat — one of the best ways of confirming a viable pregnancy and an EDD estimated due date.
Not morning sickness. Not food cravings.
