Multiple Symptoms Of Pregnancy. History Of Irregular Periods With Expired Implanon In Arm. HPT Shows Invalid Result. Suggest
I have the implanon in my arm, however, it expired on 2/21/2012. I have never had regular periods, and now I am showing multiple sign of pregnancy (nausea, fatigue, food aversion, enheightened sense of smell, tender and swollen breasts, headaches, increased need to urinate) and I have taken a couple of pregnancy tests over the last week, and they keep coming back invalid. Could the implanon be interfering with the results?

hi dear'
If the implant has expired than there are chances that with these symptoms you may have conceived.
Negative pregnancy test at present may be due to delayed conception as you have history of irregular periods.
Go for BHCG test. This will give you exact result
All the best
