Bloated Stomach, Heavier In Bottom, Weight Gain, On And Off Light Stains And Bleeding. History Of Fitting In Nexplanon. Possible Pregnancy?

Hi, I've had nexplanon fitted around 7 months back it was fine at the beginning but for about 4 months I've been worried that I've fallen pregnant. I've a bloated stomach which looks heavier at the bottom tho I have gained some weight due to bad diet. Last month was my first sign of bleeding, it was light for around two weeks. Again I got this last week it's exactly the same, light stains. I've taken many pregnancy tests all negative. Am I being paranoid and causing myself to believe I'm pregnant and feeling symptoms such as large bump, sore breasts, abdomen hardness and pain?
