Failed Abortion or nexplanon?

Can anyone please help me, I’m going out of my mind.

I had a medical abortion at 6/7 weeks 12 days ago. I regret it and made a very rash decision. I was scared with two under 3 and in a new relationship, if I could take it back I would.

When I was given the first tablet to take I was given the implant first about 30 mins before taking it. I took the second lot of tablets, all 6 of them, 36 hours after. I bled lightly and when I pushed I think about 2-3 clots came out. This all happened within an hour and then I went to bed. No bleeding through the night and have never filled a pad more than 1/2.

I had really bad nausea and symptoms, they eased a bit after the second lot of tablets on the Tuesday night. On the Friday I noticed I felt sick again, had heartburn, severe headaches and my boobs were still full and painful with green veins. It’s been nearly 2 weeks since the abortion and I feel very pregnant. I feel dizzy and exhausted and I’m having light brown spotting with mucus discharge. I’m so confused, am I making myself feel all these symptoms. I’ve rang the EPU twice in the last week and they’ve told me “the implant won’t make you feel that way” - however they make no effort to scan me or help me.

I really do feel like I’m still pregnant and the signs are all there, but I just don’t believe it’s failed and I don’t want to get my hopes up because I’d be really disappointed. I’ve convinced myself now that the implant has made me feel pregnant again and caused all these crazy symptoms, even the heartburn.

Just to mention as well, my right boob is leaking milk and my lower abdomen is very swollen. I was going to book a private scan but I don’t want to spend the money when I feel like I’m just being crazy?

Has anyone felt like this so soon after the implant and had all these crazy symptoms off it? Or has anyone had a continuing pregnancy after a medical abortion?

I’m so stressed not knowing what is happening to me!

I have taken my tablets today. I took them
in a different way but as instructed. It does say on the leaflet that if you still feel pregnant after 7 days to call them and it also states that if you only have light bleeding for 48-72 hours to call them aswell. Perhap they might be able to give you an appiontment to scan you I’m not sure which provider you used but I used MSI and they have been helpful.

wishing you luck x

Did you get an answer? I experienced something similar and go to the doctors tomorrow. My abdomen is very swollen and I have brown discharge and headaches I did pass some clots but did not fill any pad more than halfway. My pregnancy test a month later was positive.
