If you are pregnant, will you still have your period that month?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask, if I get pregnant, will I still have my period that month?

Doctor's answer:

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will not have her menstrual period again. However, a small number of women may experience vaginal bleeding on the expected date of their next menstrual period after becoming pregnant. In such cases, the pregnant woman often mistakes it for her period, leading her to be unaware that she is pregnant. This condition, which occurs during pregnancy, is referred to as "pregnancy menstruation." Its characteristics include light bleeding, pale blood color, and a shorter duration compared to any previous menstrual periods. In reality, it is not true menstruation. This phenomenon typically occurs within the first three months of pregnancy.
