Hi girls,
I am 21 years old and need some urgent advice from someone who knows a little more about this kind of stuff then I do.
So I think I might be pregnant, even though I am on the contraception Implanon and we have been using condoms during intercourse. If indeed I am pregnant, I would be approx. 12 weeks (yes, I know for sure).
Didn't associate the symptoms I've been having with a pregnancy until yesterday, when my boyfriend told me that there has been a huge scandal surrounding the contraception I was taking. So far 600 woman that were taking the drug have reported being pregnant.
My symptoms: I have been feeling extremely tired the last two months, sluggish. In the morning when I get up I always feel dizzy, I have not had any morning sickness but have felt nauseous ever so often and spent a whole day throwing up last week. I have bad headaches that will only go away if I nap. I have been craving bread and orange juice. Now what worries me most is that I have not had a proper period. Normally I bleed quite heavily and it's always red. So far and this has happened several times, without specific scheduling to it, I have had a light to dark brown, sometimes slightly red discharge, that contained very small dark brown strings. The consistency of the discharge is rather thin but sticky. It is never enough to soak a tampon and generally I only pick it up when I wipe myself. Sorry if this is too much information! Yesterday after I got out of bed I felt a sudden rush of liquid and found my pjamas soaked in a very watery pink slightly sticky liquid (so far this only happened once) Now I have googled these discharges and the only answers that I can find are related to pregnancy. During the Christmas holidays my mum told me that I should remove the implant because she believed that my body had changed it's shape. I thought I had just gained weight. My tummy is definitely rounder than it was before, it almost looks bloated but throughout the day. Although it isn't completely hard it's not wobbly either. When I poke my finger at it, I can feel a layer of fat but it's definitely hard underneath. I took a picture of it and compared it to pictures of 12 week pregnancy bumps and it doesn't look dissimilar.
Everything seems to be pointing towards a pregnancy, although this is so unlikely since I was on contraception, we used condoms and I had just had my period. I took a pregnancy test and it came up negative. I am planning to buy another one tomorrow and go to a gynecologist next week (where I live, they are shut over the weekend).
What is happening to me? I really need some advice.
Thank you for answering.

They are the reason for my symptoms, pressing down on the ovary and causing havoc with my hormones. :'-( Although he told me not to worry yet, I'll have to go back in three months and depending on the situation then, they'll remove them. I hate this. To be honest I'd much rather be pregnant. Although I'd rather be a little older, I actually liked the idea of becoming a mum. Now I'm worried I'll never be able too.
