OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (blues):

It depends on what you mean by cycle. Yes, a woman have a bicycle ride, for example, while pregnant. But if you mean, can she have a menstrual cycle while pregnant, no, she can't. The hormones related to pregnancy suppress ovulation for those nine months.

No she cant have a menstrual cycle.. as "blues" replied... menstruation occurs due to withdrawl of both estrogen and progesterone.. but during pregnancy the level of these hormones will be high to maintain the growth of the uterus and fetus..
