There are some women that claim to have had their period whilst being pregnant however, there is no way that this is possible. Rather, these women most likely experienced intermittent vaginal bleeding (spotting) during early pregnancy which is usually a light pink or dark brown colour.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals that disrupt or damage your body’s hormone-making organs and processes.
