Yes, there are many reasons for a missed period besides pregnancy. These reasons have to do with a hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalance is not limited to fertility hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, but can also include thyroid hormones. Another reason for a missed period is a tumor that impacts the release of hormones. Most frequently, these tumors are benign (non-cancerous).

No, it's biologically impossible for a woman to menstruate while she is pregnant - although she can bleed for other reasons during pregnancy such as a result of implantation bleeding, placenta becoming detached, or hormonal changes. If a woman suspects she may be pregnant she should take a pregnancy test. If a woman is pregnant and experiencing bleeding she should see her doctor ASAP - if bleeding is heavy or she's late in pregnancy go to the hospital.
