Am I desperately clutching at straws????

[Antdamm]

Hi there,

I feel stupid for asking but, here goes...
For the past three years I have had the implant in my arm. It officially 'expired' on the 17th November. Leading up to this date, my DP and I had unprotected sex and had one 'incident' since its expiry. I'm wondering if there is a tiny chance of me being preggers.
AF was all over the place with the implant, so i have nothing to go on there. I had stretchy type pains which felt like they were in my uterus and I've had a weird feeling stomach over the past couple of days - like bubbles popping?? I do feel like im being stupid - I have bought an hpt, but was going to wait a week or two b4 testing.

Should I not bother?? Please be honest but gentle if im being an idiot

thanks

Well my cousin's wife got pg in similar circumstances, so it is possible.

TBH - I think it's unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely. I don't think that the stretching pains and bubbles in stomach feeling would happen so early on in a pregnancy. I'ld only bother doing a test after however many weeks they reckon it should take for you to get your period back from stopping the implant.

I felt stretching/cramping pains in my uterus the first day of my missed period. It is quite common to get such pains in the early stages of pregnancy.

I didn't know that, I didn't have those pains till 8/9 weeks at least.

the bubbling feeling was one of my first symptoms would have been 3 weeks pregnant

Bubbling sensations? Haven't heard of that one! What's happening when you feel bubbles in your tummy then?

sounds to me like you have been stressed and this has caused a blip in your normal cycle. It's happened to me in the past when I've been stressed out. Your fertility can take a long time to come back after an implant for 3 years - the streching you are feeling is probably your uterus getting to used to not having the extra hormones from the implant.

Just to say thanks for all your replies. I still feel daft for thinkin that I meight be preggers, but I can live in hope.

I'm not stressed at all, having been thinking about getting pregnant for real yet. So stress isnt a factor in this.

I didnt feel any pains/stretching with DS1, so it may well be the hormones.

Thanks anyway
