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.

I dont know the exact date i was supposed to start my period but i know for a fact i was gonna start my period because i always have heavy cramping before and after my period and i was starting to get heavy cramping and sore breasts so my boyfriend and i wanted to have sex before i started my period and we did it without a condom and he came inside me and i didnt take plan b and its been five days since we did it and three days ago i had a tin ytiny tiny blood stain in my underwear but didnt start and ive noticed cloudy discharge every time i pee which isnt normal for me and i just noticed a slight tint of light pink when i wipedand the next time i went to the br there was a light pink spot in my underwear. And now this morning when i woke up there was a light red blotch of blood in my underwear but usually when i get my period i never spot before an dwhen my period does arrive its very heavy and is typically darker in color not light red. I also noticed that ive had trouble eating lately meaning i havent really felt hungry and when i am i cant really finish cause i start to feel sick. Plus the other day at the store i smelled chocolate really strong and was wondering where it was coming from then i realized i was standing next to boxes of hot chocolate but they werent evem open. Am i just going crazy or could i be pregnant? experiencing heavier ramping at the moment but could i still be pregnant?

Hi, I'm 18 and my fiancee and I have been trying to conceive. We've only tried for 3 months, but my menstrual cycle is always smack on 28 days. The last period I had was 4 days late, and the one before that was a day early. I have never taken birth control, (I've heard that can affect timing of your period) and I've been experiencing weird symptoms these past 2 months. I took a pregnancy test last month and the month before, but both turned up negative. I have experienced HUGE increase in appetite, especially this past week, headaches, (although not lately) fatigue, stomach pain, back pain and weird discharges. The first month I experienced a pink discharge when I wiped, and then a kind of brownish discharge in my underwear. Then last month I experienced a yellow-green discharge. I also have slight breast tenderness when the nipples are touched, and they are also very dry and skin is flaky when scratched. I don't know if that because of saliva (my fiancee likes to suck on them, sorry for the TMI, but I really really want to know what's going on with my body) I had frequent urination last month, and then constipation this month. My next period should be in 8 days, but I have no idea if I should take a test now, wait until after, or go into the doctors. Any help woul be greatly appreciated, and since I know I probably won't check back here for a while, if you want you can e-mail me at lisa_elska***@****

Hello everyone, I am new to this . I am 22 and me and my fiance have been trying to conceive....I feel like I have had the symptoms. For instance my period was due on Oct. 15, but it came on the 17. I thought no biggie except it was acting like it was goin off it was brown and barely got on underwear. than for the nxt five days it was slightly more red but still very light. Nothing like my normal cycle. So that spotting lasted a total of 6 days with no pain what so ever which i ALWAYS have to take some type of medicine. I took a test and it showed up negative so I didnt stress it. But than the nxt day my nipples got really sore not so much my actual breast, i started frequently urinating and irritable. Unfortunately on Oct. 30th i wiped and a pink discharge was on it and nothing else. than the nxt day (Oct. 31st) i wiped and it was still pinkish and thick. but now it got heavier but still no pain. So today (Nov 1st) i went to my gynecologist and she took another urine test still negative :( but she thought it was weird for me also to bleed so often in one month. and she stated my cervix was still open...... Could i be pregnant still??????
