Firstly, thank you so much for reading this. It's Sunday in the morning so I still have to wait another day till the possibility of getting a HPT.
I'm currently 19 with my own place, working and studying at university. When I was 16 I had problems with the pill, if I even took it 3-5 hours late I'd come on, which I just couldn't cope with, so I went on the Implanon implant. I had heavy periods for about 2 months as I recall (it was a quite ago!) then it settled into a regular cycle, coming on around the 25th each month.
I had the implant out about a year later to go natural as my relationship broke down and I wasn't interested in sex. My periods went back to normal immediately.
Now I'm with my partner, I went back into the implant. I had a 3 month period (with 1-2 days of spotting then back into the heavier stuff ((so sorry about this!!))), then back to the once a month routine I've had on the implant before. And now my period hasn't come this month. I'm nearly always regular, and I started when I was 11 and have never missed a month before. My best friend commented on my stomach a while back and it does feel larger, when I've not put weight on anywhere else, I've gone off alot of previously idolised foods, my nipples are tender to touch with a little pressure and I just keep eating, along with finding it hard to sleep and (randomly) nauseous, not like every day, just more often that normal.
I know I need to buy a HPT but I've been reading alot about them not working with the Implanon, and that I need a blood test? If I am carrying, I would keep it so the rate of MC on the implant scares me. Any advice?
