🤰 Can I have a period while pregnant?

The answer is no. A true menstrual period does not occur during pregnancy, as the endometrium remains in place to support the developing embryo. However, vaginal bleeding that resembles a period may occur, especially during early pregnancy.

🩸 What can cause it?

🔹 Implantation of the embryo into the endometrium.
🔹 Changes or minor bleeding from the cervix.
🔹 In some cases, miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

⚠️ Any bleeding during pregnancy should be discussed with your obstetrician – gynaecologist to determine its cause.

🔹 FSH and estradiol testing, usually during the first days of the menstrual cycle.
🔹 AFC ultrasound, which measures the number of small follicles in the ovaries.

🔹 Women prone to urinary or vaginal infections should be more cautious.
🔹 Swimming itself does not increase the risk of infection.

💡 For better protection, it is recommended to change into dry clothes after swimming.
