After a girl is pregnant, she no longer gets her period. But girls who are pregnant can have other bleeding that might look like a period. For example, there can be a small amount of bleeding when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Doctors call this implantation bleeding.

Implantation bleeding is light bleeding from the vagina that happens in some women 10 to 14 days after conceiving a baby. You may think it's just a light period, but it's an early sign of pregnancy. It's not dangerous, and you don't need treatment.

In early pregnancy you might get some light bleeding, called 'spotting', when the fetus plants itself in the wall of your womb. This is also known as 'implantation bleeding' and often happens around the time that your first period after conception would have been due.

The average time for a period after delivery is about 45 days. However, women who nurse will commonly get their periods much later. Nursing suppresses the hormone to a certain extent and that is why a woman may not get her period for up to 12 weeks or more.

Bright red bleeding that occurs six or more weeks after delivery is more likely to be your period. Pregnancy-related bleeding can increase with increased exertion or activity. If your discharge increases with exertion and decreases when you rest, it's more likely to be lochia.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 15–25% of pregnant women bleed during the first trimester. Spotting can also occur 1–2 weeks after fertilization has occurred. Shorter bleeding may be a sign of pregnancy if: It occurs midway between ovulation and when a person expects their period.

When a woman is pregnant, she does not continue to ovulate and will not have a period. Menstruation only occurs when a person is not pregnant. Although it is possible for women to experience some bleeding during pregnancy, this will not be due to their menstrual cycle.

A woman's first period after a pregnancy loss is often a little different than usual. Bleeding in your first cycle or two post-miscarriage may be somewhat heavier than usual, and you may notice a bit of clotting due to a heavier flow.
