Hi David! Menstruation during pregnancy is IMPOSSIBLE! Let me explain... During menstruation, two hormones mainly Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and progesterone function properly. But during pregnancy, the FSH funtion stops. What FSH does is that it helps to release ovum from the ovary. But during pregnacy as the FSH secretion stops therefore there is absolutely no chance of release of ovom, so no chance of undergoing menstrual cycle. Moreover the stucture of the uterus changes during pregnancy. This uterus structure is totally different for a mentruating female and a pregnant woman. The cases that you mentioned may have been misinterpreted. And as I said, rest assured that "Menstruation during pregnancy is IMPOSSIBLE!"
