What Causes Sore Breasts Along With Lumps On Areola Post Removal Of Implanon?

My implanon was expired for 3 months. I had unprotected sex. I have not had a period the entire time I was on it. I got my implanon removed but I am constantly feeling hungry and my boobs hurt a little. I have also noticed these bumps forming around my nipples. Could I be pregnant?
