Hey all! Heads up, there may be some info in this that may make others uncomfortable. I recently got my Nexplanon removed after a year of having it in. I removed it due to severe anxiety, depression, weight gain, and anger issues while having it in (I'm way better now). It took almost a month for my period to return and it only lasted 3 days versus my normal 4 day cycle. I did have unprotected sex during and after my period. He came in me the last day of my period (it was a drunken night) and I got Plan B 2 days later. We were talking about having children but I did the math and it would take me out of school if I were to conceive then and I decided I wanted more stability first, so I changed my mind. The other times he has either used the pull out method (once when the Plan B should have still been in my system) or he just does it for a bit until I mention the condom. I took a test 5 days before my period just in case and it was negative.

Here's the deal now. I'm 2 days late when I've always had regular periods before the Nexplanon. I have heartburn, some cramping, my lower back hurts all the time, I'm so tired too (past my normal tiredness as I work nights every other weekend), my discharge is clear and very watery with a lot, I feel so bloated too, and my breasts are a little sore but my nipples are pretty darn sensitive. I'm planning on testing again soon if my period doesn't return but I've read it can take up to a week to show a "true" result after a missed period. I'm more worried because a coworker mentioned that my boobs have gotten larger and asked if I was pregnant.

I'm not sure how the Nexplanon would have affected my cycle or if it could have caused me to ovulate during my last period or at a different time. Does anyone have experience or knowledge on this? My doctor refused to answer questions because she was mad that I was getting the thing removed. I'm also not on anything else because I feel my body needs a break. Also, what were the symptoms for everyone else that has been pregnant? Any similar? I'm very nervous because my first pregnancy I was on birth control and didn't know I was pregnant. I found out at 8 weeks and stopped my birth control, unfortunately the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks after getting off the B/C. I thought I was pregnant for nearly 5 weeks after but miscarried at 13 weeks. It was a terrible experience and I'm afraid I'll mess up again.
