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?

Hello,
Above features may be associated with side effect of the nexplanon. It has lowest failure rate on pregnancy. Also, you get several negative pregnancy test. Kindly, consult with your doctor for overall health check up and relevant investigation like USG scan etc (if required).
Till then, take balanced diet, drink more water/ fluid and stress free sound sleep.
