It's not possible to have a period while you're pregnant. However, you may experience spotting during early pregnancy, which is usually light pink or dark brown in color. This can be mistaken for a period, especially if it's your first pregnancy.
If you're experiencing spotting and think you might be pregnant, it's important to take a pregnancy test and consult with your doctor.
Here are some additional factors that could cause missed periods:
- Amenorrhea: This refers to the absence of a menstrual cycle. Pregnancy is one of the most common causes of amenorrhea.
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder can cause irregular periods, including missed periods.
- Pituitary or Thyroid Disease: Issues with these glands can also lead to missed periods.
- Excessive Exercise or Low Body Weight: Intense physical activity or a very low body mass index can disrupt your menstrual cycle.
Remember, it's always best to speak with a healthcare professional if you're experiencing any changes in your menstrual cycle or if you think you might be pregnant.
