I had my period that finished last week and 2 days later I have sore breasts, back pain, heart burn, feeling tired and can smell things more .Can I still be pregnant and thought I had a period but it wasn't ? I have a 1 year old who when I carried him from finding out till I had him 7 months I bled every time I went to the loo they said my placenta was low . What do I do? Shall I take a test or wait a while? Or could it be something else?

I’m on implanon. I had a heavy period for 3 weeks straight just got off period last week. Now I’m having painful breast, lower abdominal pain, lower back pain. Had leep surgery in May. Could I be pregnant being on the implanon?

Hi Anon
It's very unlikely - call your doctor about all this bleeding, it's not normal. Implanon may not suit you and you may need to find something else.
Best,

Hello Anon
It sounds like you had a period, albeit a rather light one. If you have concerns about pregnancy, take a test. One would be accurate by now.

I've been off for 6days now and I've been getting really painful lower back pain haven't been able to eat much the past 4-5days and I've got really painful abdominal pains??

MY periods are usually 29 days apart. Last month I started 6 days early(I am very regular so this was weird), then I started again 26 days later. The second period lasted 40hours and I spotted for a half day. Also, I think I started my period early this month because that night I was having sex with my boyfriend, and I started later that afternoon. I have been off my period for about a week now( my calendar isn't with me), however my breast have become more sore over the past few days, I feel slightly nauseated(but im always nauseated), and I feel a little pressure in my womb. The last detail is... I spotted after sex the night of May 30th(4days after my period was over.

Hi, my period started Friday very light very pinkish. Then it got heavier so I'm like OK normal period. Here's the thing my period stopped Wednesday and my sex drive was high so I had sex. Then my period came back very light red for like a day and a half. So I thought man I'm going to check my cervix and it was high soft and open really soft and really open and he ejaculated in me. I'm just confused because I checked again a couple of days later and its lower my cervix I mean but closed. I had a yellowish eggwhite discharge and it happened the same day I checked my cervix now I am having back pain first it was on both sides now on just one it just stopped today could I have ovulated two days after my period
