Thank you for your reply.

Are you saying even though she is having her period that she could still be pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Chobufo Ditah (21 hours later)

Brief Answer:
If the flow is much, then she is probably not.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If this is just like a regular and normal period, then she is most likely not pregnant. I will say follow up with a pregnancy test and if it is negative, then she's not. However, with a normal period, pregnancy is highly unlikely.

Keep me posted.
