Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old. I had sex four months before and ovulated on the second day after having sex. I got periods on the next month for four days, and after five days of my periods I got a Nexplanon birth control, and the doctor gave me a negative pregnancy test. I then had a period of 14 days in the next month and I am still spotting. I am just wondering if there is any way for me to be pregnant? I have not had sex since then. But I am paranoid that I am pregnant I cannot afford an abortion. Also, I cannot even afford to go to the doctor or have a way to buy a pregnancy test. For the past couple of days, I have felt movement, but it could be gas. I have also been having sharp pains in my lower abdomen for a while especially when sneezing or coughing hard. I always had very painful and heavy periods associated with sharp pains while pooping on period. The birth control has helped by stopping my period, but I still get the sharp pains randomly. Kindly advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, you are not pregnant as your pregnancy test was negative at the time you got Nexplanon implant, and you did not have had sex afterward. So calm down now and give relief to yourself. Your periods have reduced due to the effect of Nexplanon as it is a contraceptive as well as it also reduces blood loss during periods and some women get reduced bleeding or absent bleeding in the very start of the implantation. Your periods will slowly return to normal. So do not have to worry about pregnancy now. And secondly all of the symptoms you told are pointing towards anxiety, and you need some stress reliever. The problem with passing stools may be due to the lack of fiber in your diet. You must drink plenty of water and increase the intake of fiber by eating more vegetables, and less junk food will help improve your bowels, and hopefully, this issue will be resolved soon.
I hope it has helped you. If you require any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
