Menstruation and Pregnancy: Can You Experience Both?
No, it is not possible to feel menstrual and be pregnant at the same time. The menstrual cycle involves the shedding of the uterine lining (menstruation) in preparation for a possible pregnancy. When a pregnancy occurs, the menstrual cycle stops, and menstruation does not occur.
If you are experiencing menstrual-like symptoms and you think you may be pregnant, it is important to take a pregnancy test to confirm whether or not you are pregnant.
