Question for everyone who became pregnant

Do you have any stories of people getting some sort of a period yet getting a positive test? I have heard of implantation bleeding and also stories where there was bleeding significant enough to be considered periods and yet they were pregnant then. My question is, do you always have to miss a period to be pregnant?

My mother had bleeding for the first 3–4 months of her pregnancy with me, but this is due to a problem she had with her uterus. She was advised to abort as the pregnancy was very dangerous. I was told she had blood transfusions.

I have been pregnant three times already, and my periods stopped immediately, and I never had any spotting or bleeding. Sometimes it is normal for women to have spotting in the very early stages, but more than this should be checked.
