No Periods Post Implant With Weight Gain, Pain And Movement In Lower Stomach Area. Chances Of Pregnancy?
hi I ve had the implant in for 1year and 3months now. in the first year I experience headaches , feeling sick which on 2 occasions I was sick and dizziness , but just recently I keep getting pain and movement in my lower stomach area. sometimes I have to stay still til the pain goes, i m getting worried that i might be pregnant because ever since i ve had the implant put in i ve had no periods and gain quiet a bit of weight. please help.
I am not sure if you are talking about a progestin implant in the arm or the IUD in the uterus. Both cause amenorrhea or lack of menstruation. There also associated with weight gain. Progesterone can also cause some bowel distention and increasing gassiness. I would recommend that you take a pregnancy test. My guess is that you are not pregnant because the long-acting reversible contraceptives such as the arm implant or IUD have a very high effectiveness more so even than contraceptive pills but the pregnancy test will answer this question completely.
