can I be pregnant and still have menstrual cycles?

I went to the doctor several months ago feeling pregnant only to find out that i have hypothyroid.  2 months later, i was feeling little flutters and movement so I went back and had an ultrasound to make sure i was not pregnant because i am having menstrual cycles every month.  the ultrasound tech spent maybe all of one minute on the ultrasound and said i was fine.  this was just an urgent medical place not an OBGyn.  the doctor told me it could just be muscle spasms and possibly gas and I am sure he thought i was psychosomatic or something but he claimed i should not worry as long as i am not in any pain.  It is  a month and a half later and those flutter movements are still occuring  along with those flips or rolls you would normally feel during mid to late pregnancy.  I am 30 years old with two of my own children I think I know the difference between gas and baby movement. I know this is not "in my head"  the only time i have ever felt anything like this has been when i am pregnant.
  I have tried to pretend its not happening but the movement is frequently through the day and very strong and extremely hard to ignore.  My question is could i really be pregnant and still be having a period every month Or could this be related to the thyroid medication?   this paticular doctor said it is not common to have a period when you are pregnant but i do not believe that is true.  am i right?  if this is not pregnancy then please tell me what could possibly be moving inside of me  to this magnitude.

Hi,
I just had a question for you, I was wondering if when you had your period, it was different as any periods before. You see, I am getting my period but it's been a few days late than usual, and that was never the case before, plus I did not get any cramps the past months. The other thing was, did you get negative tests>? Please share your experience with me. If you don't mind. I am 30 years old, have a son and testing negative. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I just had a laparoscopy done on Oct 5 and had sex on Oct  13. My cycle was 7 days late. My cycle was due to come on October 24. October 29 i started having mild cramps but didnt see any blood until Oct 30 and it was brown when it first started. Today I started feeling sick with flu like symptoms. I have no appetite and sometimes feel nausea. I also feel like I could be getting a headache. My body feels warm to touch so I took my temp and and it was 98.6.  I know people that have had a normal cycle during pregnancy so I do know it's possible but I've never been pregnant and I'm just seeking advice.
