Is it possible to be pregnant but still have bleeding?

While you can have bleeding around when your period is due and still be pregnant, you can’t have a true period while pregnant. If you are pregnant, ovulation won’t occur, and your uterine lining won’t be entirely shed along with an egg, so by definition the bleeding isn’t a period.

What does bleeding in the first trimester mean?
