Question
Hello,I'm taking tri-previfem, and in February I had sex with my man and in the same day I spotted just a little. two days later my period actually came on and I went the whole cycle since then I still have been seeing my period but I was still wondering if I could be pregnant and still have a period

Answer
It's possible to have bleeding during pregnancy, but in your case it seems much more likely that what you have is breakthrough bleeding, which is common with the pill.  Since it's been going on so long, I would see your doctor to probably switch to a different pill.  If it seems pregnancy is a possibility, a test can be done.  Best wishes.
