ugghhhh any suggestions??

Question

Long story short, currently a college student, have a lot on my plate right now, keep forgetting to take birth control pills, have had unprotected sex with boyfriend 6 times since the removal of the implant, which was 2 weeks ago. Haven't gotten my period yet, have taken multiple pregnancy tests and all have been negative.  I have been feeling different lately, been getting dizzy out of nowhere, get weird stabbing stomach pain, sex drive has definitely gone up..yet still negative results! Definitely not trying to get pregnant, but wondering if there's a chance that I might be. Is it still too soon to tell? Should I wait a bit longer to take the tests?

Answer

There's always a chance, but I'd say it's pretty low.
1. A lot of BC types take a while to get out of your system, and I think implants take the longest. (I used Nuvaring and my gyno told me to stop using it a few months before actively TTC) If it was only out for two weeks, it might have still been somewhat affective.
2. Since you just got off the implant, it might be a while for your cycle to regulate. You might think you're late, but your body is just adjusting to the change.
3. The symptoms you're noticing might just be being amplified by your worries. We're TTC now and I have a hard time not over analyzing every little mood and twinge and hoping it's a pregnancy. Also, the more you stress, the more likely you are to delay your period.
I'd say, relax. Treat your body well, get plenty of sleep. Let your body do it's thing and wait a week or two before getting a test. Good luck!
