AF 5 WEEKS LATE

For those of you reading for the first time, here is what is happening

I got my Implanon removed on Jan 4th 2006, bled for a few days and then got my real first period (after removal) on Feb 13th 2006.My husband and I have sex around three times a week.He doesn't wear a condom to begin with, but then puts one on for the last couple of minutes.He didn't wear a condom twice though (once in end of Feb and once in the beginning of March). Because my period was late to arrive in Feb (10 days) I knew it could be late this month also.But after 2 weeks,I started getting a bit worried. My symptoms:

HUNGER,some cramps here and there.My boobs aren't too sore, though they felt tingly a few wks ago.Not sleeping too well at all (constantly waking up).Sometimes I as if I'm about to get AF because it has been very "wet" down there (SORRY FOR TMI) and I run to the bathroom to check but nothing. Just lotiony discharge.(SO SORRY FOR TMI!)I don't feel too tired,but have been quiet weepy for the past weeks.

I went to the DR yesterday and she took some blood (because I asked) for a pg test and to check the hormones to see whether or not I'm ovulating and I should get results next Thursday or Friday. She said its all probably just from removal (side effects) and that I'm not pg.Well, I asked for blood test just in case anyway.I've really gotten used 2 idea of a baby now even though we weren't trying yet.DR made me feel a bit stupod asking for a test, but oh well.If I am, I want to be sure. If not, I'll try again later.Any comments or tips are welcome! What do you all think?

xoxo

Thanks for replying Kellibug, will wait for results of blood test but if I can't help myself until Thursday will def get a hpt. I'm feeling broody now =(. Do you know how long it takes for cycles to normalize? Would love to start trying soon but at this rate... I just don't know!! Take care and hope to hear from you soon!

Perhaps try a HPT - at least it will put your mind at rest. Good luck!

Hi
I got my implanon out on the 16th of march, thought i was pregnant due to sore nipples, constantly feeling tierd, etc. DR told me to count 28 days from getting it out for my AF. My AF was due on the 12th April and came (ive never been regular)Normal on the 1st day, nothing that night. heavy on the second day and nothing that night and i seems to have disappeared since.  I did 2 tests before my AF and nothing, anyone got any suggestions?? Thanks
