Just got pregnant, will I still get my period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, no. The mechanism of menstruation is the transformation of the corpus luteum into the corpus albicans, followed by atrophy, which leads to a sudden decrease in the secretion of estrogen and progesterone, causing the shedding of the endometrium. If pregnant, the corpus luteum will not atrophy, and menstruation will not occur.
