Does Cramping With Clear Mucus Vaginal Discharge With Bloody Streaks And Headache Indicate Pregnancy?

Hi I had my nexplanon taken out April 21st, and I had unprotected sex on the 30 of April and May 4th. I ve been feeling very off with being nauseous, headaches everyday, constipated then diahrea, very moody and then sad, I ve also had a lot of clear mucus like discharge for 3 days and 2 days ago had blood streaks in it, it s settled down with the mucus discharge, and I ve had cramps kinda by my pelvic area, what could this be? Could I be pregnant? Please help

Hi,

Nexplanon implant contains etonogestrel, a female natural sex hormone called progesterone that is used in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies from unprotected sexual intercourses for up to 3 years. But, once removed, etonogestrel levels in the blood fall to undetectable in weeks, so some side effects like headache, mood swings, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, pelvic cramps, menstrual pattern changes etc., may occur during this period of time and these side effects will improve within a few days to weeks after removal of Nexplanon implant. But if side effects bother you, you should consult your doctor first. Again, if you have any doubt of getting pregnant, then you can do urine test for pregnancy 7 days after the next missed period.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
