Hi guys,
My husband and I aren't TTC but we've got a little snag. I have been on the Implanon Implant as my main source of BC (three cycles in nine years). We've had a busy year and I forgot my implant was due for renewal in June this year. I still have the old one in but I had a full AF starting 12th October. I figured it had run out but still forgot to get a new one. I had a 1 day light bleed (very dark brown) on November 9th after doing the do with my partner on 3rd November. We used a condom but apparently.....there was a leak. Instated getting a few pregnancy symptoms (a little nauseous, emotional, boobs a little achy but not just on the front also going around into the armpits, a few cramps, also weirdly a kind of tickling in my lower abdomen like butterflies but lower down than normal, and lower back ache) After digging out my old diaries from before I started BC I worked out my old cycle was about 35 days making ovulation around the 3rd November. So I started to freak out thinking that the one day bleed could have been implantation. Cue the pregnancy tests. Seeing as we are a little strapped on the money side right now I bought a multipack from a pound shop and took one every morning nothing seemed to come up so I carried on with life.
Two were thrown out but three were still in the bin so I still had them. I'm not sure about the first two but the last three had very faint lines in the test section. I know I shouldn't have read them after the time limit so I decided to read up when the best DPO was to test and a few people with irregular AF suggested 15 plus. I decided to use a few calculators and because I don't know when ovulation was I decided to use 3rd November as day 0 for all intents and purposes. So on Thursday (approx 14dpo) I went to Tesco bought 2 packs of 2 of their own brand and being the impatient soul I am went straight to the customer toilets to do one. BFN. Threw it away and decided to do one more in the morning for good measure. (I then reneged on that and did one after I came home as well as I remembered I didn't wait the full time limit but it looked BFN so I called it a night)
I had a migraine that night so ended up up in bed at 7pm and awake at 1.45am needing the bathroom so I decided that was enough time to do another test. I must state that seeing everything written down I am apparently a bad decision maker as I only waited a minute before deciding I was too tired to wait and went back to sleep. When I woke up I remembered my nighttime testing and went to check and it was a big BFP. This was now 15DPO (approx). I also fished out the one I had done before bed the night before and there was a distinct test line but not as dark. Instead of using good judgement and waiting until the morning to test again I did it in the afternoon and this one turned up BFN. I waited until this morning (18dpo) and I had to resort to some very cheap ones from the corner shop that were dip stick types. Both tests were BFN and have stayed that way.
I'm really confused and I just want to know what everyone else thinks. Is this just the dregs on my implant causing weird symptoms? Could I be pregnant and if so why are the tests showing yes one day and no the next? Could it be a chemical pregnancy?
So sorry this is a long post but I am very confused and a little scared. Any insight would be great. Also I have pictures but can't work out how to attach them
