“Period” whilst pregnant

Hi,

I know this might sound crazy but is it possible to have what seems like a period whilst pregnant? I started my pill free week on Monday and since then I’ve been floored with what feels like morning sickness. For a couple of days I had brown spotting and now my period is extremely light after being later than normal. I have endometriosis so normally I struggle to function because my periods are so heavy. I’ve never experienced it so light and with strange symptoms like being sick and craving salty things I’m starting to wonder if I might be pregnant.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything similar? And would it be crazy if I took a test?

Best thing to do if you are in doubts is to take a test ❤ You are never crazy to do so!

Could be an implantation bleed if it’s lighter than usual. A test will confirm either way. Good luck! Xx

A period is not possible if you are pregnant but implantation bleeding is. Best to take a first response pregnancy test to know for certain. I had period like cramps and light bleeding that turned out to be implantation.

Time to take a test if you ask me. A friend of mine said she had a full blown period before she found out she was pregnant and showing 14 weeks. So it can happen although not common

Update: so I took a test this morning and it came back negative. Consulted the advise of my mum because she’s a retired midwife who told me to test again in a week. Still really uncertain about what’s going on with my body!
