No, you cannot be 1 week pregnant and still have a true menstrual period. However, some women experience light bleeding or spotting, known as implantation bleeding, around the time their period is due. This is often lighter and shorter than a typical period. If you suspect pregnancy despite bleeding, consider taking a pregnancy test and consult your healthcare provider for confirmation and guidance.
