      Will I still have my period when I am pregnant? Special circumstances

      A married woman whose menstruation has always been normal suddenly stops having menstruation, which is a good sign of giving birth to a new life. However, a small number of women still have a small amount of vaginal bleeding during their original menstrual cycle in the first 3 months after pregnancy.

      Menstruation after pregnancy is caused by egg implantation bleeding that occurs after the egg implants. In early pregnancy, when the egg is fertilized and implanted, chorionic gonadotropin begins to appear in the urine, reaching a peak in the 8th week of pregnancy. This hormone acts similarly to luteinizing hormone and enables the ovarian corpus luteum to develop into the gestational corpus luteum. The corpus luteum of pregnancy continues to secrete estrogen and progesterone, causing the endometrium to become decidua, ensuring the continued development and growth of the fertilized egg.

      If the chorionic gonadotropin in the pregnant woman's body cannot convert the ovarian corpus luteum into the gestational corpus luteum, and at the same time, the true decidua and the decidua parenchyma are not completely fused, and a small part of the endometrium is still active and is affected by ovarian hormones, then there will be bleeding that is less than the menstrual volume or even imperceptible every month. But after 3 months of pregnancy, sex hormones are mainly secreted by the placenta, replacing the function of the ovaries. At this time, the true decidua and the decidua paris merge, and menstruation will no longer occur. Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding that occurs after pregnancy does not affect fetus development and maternal healthy , so no special treatment is required. It should be noted that when the menstrual cycle or menstrual flow changes, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause of the change. Generally, pregnancy should be suspected if menstruation is more than 10 days past due.
