Can you get your period regularly and still be pregnant?

I’ve always been a skinny girl. I’ve had points in my life where I gained weight but I always lost it pretty fast as I have a high metabolism. Well a few months ago I had sex after 5 years of celibacy and have continued to have sex with this man for 4 months. Immediately after sleeping with him I noticed that I started to gradually gain weight. But my period kept coming. About a month ago I took a pregnancy test which came back negative. I assumed I wasn’t pregnant. My appetite did increase however I genuinely don’t feel I have been eating enough to gain weight so rapidly. The other day I also got up in the middle of the night and threw up for some unknown reason. A few days later I felt myself getting gagging at the cheese on my tater tots-something unusual for me because I have never been a picky eater. If there wasn’t anything wrong with my food to disgust me I usually wouldn’t gag over it but I just couldn’t keep from gagging and I had to spit it out because I thought I would puke even though it tasted good. Today I looked at my stomach after my family commented on my weight and I look pregnant. Like my stomach is poking out a lot. I have never been this big in my life. I work every day and move around enough that even if I did eat a little more than usual I shouldn’t be this big. I tried to get another test but all the stores are closed. The thing is I have been having my periods every month. I genuinely didn’t feel like it was possible for me to pregnant but now I’m concerned. I’m going to get a test first thing in the morning. But I’m curious if anybody had ever been pregnant but still had periods every month?
