Time for a Pregnancy Test?

Question

Hey ladies!

I'd love any advice or help! I'm currently about a week late for my fairly regular period. I have a Nexplanon implant so I generally don't worry. However I've been cramping (something I don't normally do) for two weeks straight. I've also been extra nauseous, bloated, and REALLY gassy. 
Should I take a home pregnancy test or is my birth control probably doing its job. I'm starting to panic but it might just be symptoms of stress according to my friend. I also just talked to my boyfriend and he said I've been acting super weird lately and having mood swings the past few days, that could be PMS but like I said I generally don't have many PMS symptoms.
I'm super scared so any help would be great !

Answer

I'd take a test it is possible to get pregnant while on birth control. Taking a test will at least ease your mind but your friend is right stress can make your period act up as well as changes in your sleep, eating and excercise.

Answer

Taking a pregnancy test wouldn't hurt if you knew it was possible! 😊

Answer

Taking a test will ease your worries but as you know it is unlikely you are pregnant.

UPDATE: Took a dollar store pregnancy test and it said invalid. Bought a clear-blue test to take tomorrow morning!

Answer

When it comes to birth control, anything is possible. I would definitely take a test or since you are late and having some weird symptoms you might want to see your gyno to make sure everything is ok
