The TV show you are referring to is only meant for entertainment, and many details and truths are left out. I would not spend another minute worrying about the correlation to you and a TV show (no matter how realistic they make it sound!).
Women may experience some bleeding when they are pregnant; most do not.
Women do not have a monthly menstrual cycle with a viable pregnancy, however. If there is an implanted fertilized egg, and thus a viable pregnancy, the "pregnancy hormones" tell your body to begin the process of developing a placenta and the million-other baby-preparation steps, thus stopping any shedding of the uterine lining (menstruation). There may be medical anomalies to every situation, and the TV executives, writers and producers will certainly thrive on the insecurities in all of us watching the show to dramatize these anomalies, and influence us to wonder if these strange, unusual occurrences are instead common...and could happen to us!
Do you have any questions about your specific situation, that do not involve the TV show, that we can help answer?
