Hi I'm new here and need someone to throw a little advice my way as I have no idea where I stand with it all and slowly losing my mind. (Sorry if this is lengthy and TMI!)
At 26 years old I decided to have my Implanon removed on the 27th September due to the fact me and my partner decided we would let nature take it's course, when the time is right. I have had irregular periods throughout having the Implanon, but the last 4 month my cycle was every 31-32 days around the 30th of each month. 2 days after having my implant removed, the 29th, I had my period, which lasted around 5 days.
Me and partner have had sex multiple times (3-4 times a week) unprotected. Around a week ago I started feeling very unusual, mainly a horrible taste in my mouth and dizziness. Short of breath and slight chest tightness. Followed shortly by an overwhelming feeling of nausea throughout the day on and off. The thought of food going near my mouth made me want to gip, and when I did eat, I could rarely keep it down. I then became extremely bloated and felt cramps in my lower abdominal area which gradually become more frequent. I also felt really hot, which is very unlike me, i'm always freezing!
I decided to do a test on the Friday - which was the 26th - negative.
Sunday evening I felt sharp pains in one side, but nothing major, still accompanied by the cramps in my lower tummy. Monday came around and the cramps/sharp pain seemed to have taken another level and became worse, but nothing I couldn't handle - at this point it might be worth me pointing out I had have no bleeding or spotting. I became worried when I was feeling twinges and what felt like pulling and tugging to the point it was bothering me. I called the clinic to see if they had a walk in service, which they didn't but I explained my symptoms. She immediately told me to go to our walk in centre (which is also now our A & E department.) They saw me almost immediately, had my blood pressure, temperature and did a urine test was taken.
I then went in to see a doctor, explained my symptoms and she had a feel of my tummy. She looked at my results and said my temperature was high and blood pressure low which was interesting and said "It looked like I was definitely brewing something." My urine test showed a very slight infection but explained it was nothing that would cause me cramping or pain. She sent me for a pregnancy blood test and wanted to rule out a Ectopic Pregnancy or Ovarian Cysts.
The nurse called me into the room for my blood results which showed 'all clear.' She said she expected to see much higher HCG levels if I had ovulated 14 days ago - but didn't actually give me a HCG level figure. I asked what was actually causing my pain and cramping - she sad it may be period cramps or a bout of IBS (something i've never had.) I then accepted this and asked, I'm definitely not pregnant? She then told me I had to await my period in the next few days (which hasn't shown!) if I don't have a period in the next two weeks and symptoms persist, I then need to speak to my GP, ask for another blood test and a ultrasound - she then sent me on my way.
My symptoms have persisted. Low sex drive (unlike me!) Although the evening of my hospital visit, I had no sharp pains, and since this point it's mainly been a pulling dull pain in my lower tummy and a dull lower back ache. Me and my partner DTD that evening also and I had the weirdest sensation, almost like I was slightly sore and nothing was really happening down there (also unlike me!)
Yesterday and today I have increased discharge - thin and white. I tried to feel my cervix to understand what was happening a little better, feels very soft and tender. Appetite still pretty much non existent and all of a sudden this afternoon a sex drive surge!
I'm wondering what I should do, whether there is a possibility I am pregnant and when I should test if AF doesn't arrive? I don't think I can hold 2 weeks!
Has anyone ever experienced similar? Negative blood results that have turned out false?
