Contraceptive Implant or pregnant?

[abs_]

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for some advice- I had the implant inserted april last year- for the past week I've had very very soar nipples, to the point where I can't even wear a bra or touch them!!

Is it something to do with the implant or could I be pregnant?!

Any help or advice would be so helpful!

Hello!

Not sure why you're having the sore nipples but I can't imagine that you're pregnant.

A few years ago when I had the implant I had a pregnancy scare. I was so exhausted I couldn't get out of bed, my emotions were all over the place and I wretched at the smell of food cooking. So I hauled myself over to a walk-in centre (I had to go anyway as I had a cyst on my underwear line and couldn't get in to see my doctor). Whilst I was there I asked for a quick pregnancy test and it was a definite negative. The line couldn't have been darker even if we waited for it to be. Turns out I was experiencing delayed side effects from some medication that I was on.

So I'd say if you're worried to the point where you can't think about anything else just head over to a walk in centre. Or you can buy a pregnancy test from Asda for £1.

They say it's impossible as 1 in 100 women fall pregnant on the implant. But of course that's still not a 100% guarantee. And I thought to myself that it'd be just typical for me to be that 1 woman.

But the only way to know for sure is to do a test. But it's really not worth it buying an expensive one. You could also always go to a sexual health clinic near you and they should definitely do a test.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your advice!

I did a home test- it came back negative?! I've no other problems except from the nipples.

Could it be because of my job? I do a lot of lifting and have noticed what I lift has been rubbing against my chest?
