Does Implanon Removal Cause Lower Back Pain And Ovulation?

Posted on Tue, 7 Oct 2014

Question: Hi I got my implanon removed 2.5 weeks ago and the next day got my period for 5 days then 2 days after that I ovulated I no this because I did a test and it came positive. The next day I was having cramps on and off up until now being 5 days continuous, also lower back pain but thus is normal for me, also been moving my bowls at least once a day over these 5days. Is this pregnancy? Or what is this? I'm due for my next period in about 3 weeks just under. Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is all most probably related to ovulation.
After implanon removal there is erratic behavior of ovaries which at times don't ovulate at all and at times multiple ovulation occurs.
So you are getting pain lower abdomen due to irritation of uterine muscles and bowels.
This explaining all your symptoms.
As regards pregnancy is concerned it can be related to pregnancy but it can be confirmed only via positive pregnancy test after 1 week from today.
In case you have other questions I will be happy to help.

There are around 20-30% chances of pregnancy in case you had unprotected intercourse during ovulation time.
Do a pregnancy test on 24th of September.
All the best.

Detailed Answer:
Hi heaps, pregnancy if at all there then also it cannot cause these stretching feeling because it is just like a mere dot on paper in dimensions.
These awkward feeling can be due to progesterone withdrawal and will be gone once you get your periods and thus your body hormones resume their normal rhythm.
I hope I have answered your question but in case you have any other query I will be happy to help.

Hi so this could be not related to pregnancy?

Its also not a stretching feeling just sometimes pain under my belly button

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
The pain below belly button is from irritability of the ligaments due to increased uterine contractility due to decreasing levels of progesterone after removal of implanon.
Whether pregnancy is there or not it can be guessed only after 2 weeks post positive ovulation test.
So we can only wait and watch.
All the best.
