Advice please to stop me stressing!
Disclaimer: I am not at all against being pregnant with my third child, it’s frustrating waiting for my scans to rule out cysts etc.
I had my implant removed on June 8th and had since that date had unprotected sex. I bled around the time I should have gotten a period. However it was very light on the first day, then used tampons on and off for two days, followed by a day of no blood and then one day of extremely light blood! Of course I did a pregnancy test to rule out that being implantation bleeding as I know this can be more blood for some than others. I have had negative tests for these. The doctors have booked me in for 3 scans on the 30th of this month which feels like forever that I am waiting! My bloating makes it look as though I am pregnant, I have had such bad nausea (hence the doctors visit), acid reflux/heart burn feeling and now my boobs are starting to feel tender. Has this ever happened to anyone and they ended up being pregnant? Or was there another reason for experiencing similar? This thread won’t let me attach a picture of my bloat but I’d say it looks so similar to when I was 2/3 months pregnant with my first two! Also just to add, the doctors did not do a urine or blood pregnancy test, which was also frustrating.

I think that's probably just your hormones sorting themselves out after you had the implant removed.

@Esmeraldathe3rd thank you! The doctor didn’t mention that, but I assumed that could give me some symptoms. I wish I could have attached the photo for my tummy! I have the scans next week so hopefully that can put my mind at rest as I am supposed to be away for the following weekend.

Have you taken a pregnancy test to rule it out?

Amelia1102 · 26/07/2026 10:28

@Autumn02 Yes! They were negative which would definitely confirm not pregnant. I was wondering if anyone had been through similar, pregnancy symptoms, bad bloat etc.
