Hi, I just had my implanon removed after 2 years, about two weeks ago. I was having pregnancy symptoms while on the implant and took two home pregnancy tests. The first was positive (morning urine) the next one was two days later and was a negative (afternoon urine). I called the Dr and have me another urine test which also came out negative. My fiance and I both agreed to still have it removed and ttc. This was April 18th. I ve been cramping since before the removal. I was due for my period April 20 and never got it. My breasts are tender and I have slight cramping. My stomach is noticeably swollen and I m hungry all the time. Also, yesterday, there was a slight pink color when I wiped yesterday. No blood or anything after, and it happened twice. Should I demand a blood test? Why would I have had a negative positive?
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Here are your answers: 1. The most likely reason for the dubious result with the home pregnancy tests is the standard of the test kit and the sampling time. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period using a fresh early morning sample. 2. I would ask you to go for the blood test in the current scenario for clarification. 3. The other likely cause of the delayed cycle is the altered hormone balance due to removal of the implant. Your symptoms are perhaps related to this. Hope this helps.
