can I be pregnant and still have menstrual cycles?

[cicc]

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.

Hello everyone...my fiance and I are TTC. I have had my normal period for the past 3 months since I've been off BC. It has been only late once and that was this past time. But my problem is, I've gained 10 pounds, I feel drained, I have cravings and my sense of smell is A LOT stronger. I'm wanting to know if you can have your normal, heavy period and still be pregnant? Something just doesnt feel right about my body. Thank you!

I have read most of these comments and im still unsure of myself. i stopped BC in Feb of this year and have been trying since then.  On july 6 ( my day of ovulation) me and my fiance had unprotected sex twice. on the 13th of July I started experincing and STILL expereincing : Cramping in lower pelvic area, night sweats, staying up until 5 am consistantly, sore and darkening of my nipples, swollen boobs, white discharge, dark yellow urine, Gaggin (nausea?), Undies very wet almost soaked by end of work day, Hot flashes, Gasssss, aches and tension in my back. i say all of this to say that today the 21st at 5 am i started bleeding. it is very bright red but not coming down like my normal period would. Im still cramping and have not stopped since the 13th. I have been gagging all day and have used the bathroom at least 4 times today. I took a PT on 15th and 17 of july and got 2 BFN... what the hell is going on with me ?? PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INPUT!! im going to take another PT tommorow .....

It really depends on the female. I never bled while pregnant, so I have no experience in it.

nd well i know yur period doesnt come when yu are actually pregnant.. but ok like yu say yu only bleed how long does that bleeding last or what?? does it seem like an actual period or what?? but yea i think going to the doctor is the best thing..
