What are the chances I am pregnant?
I had sex about 2-3 weeks ago and I’m nervous about pregnancy. I have an implant in that’s been in for about 6 months and i was on my period or at least bleeding during the time. I haven’t been bleeding (normally i bleed 24/7) for the past week and a half and i’m nervous if its because I’m pregnant, my boyfriend had also pulled out afterwards but I put in a tampon after and don't know if that affected anything.
P.S I have no symptoms im pretty sure except for missed period and maybe constant hunger? No food cravings, sensitivity to smell, or nausea luckily but my mom told me when she was pregnant with me she couldn’t tell (no symptoms) and was on birth control too.

Seeing you have an implant, you must have a provider who implanted it. You might want to check in with that provider if you have additional questions or concern about changes in your period.
Do you plan to doing a over counter pregnancy test?
What kind of implant do u have? With the Merina IUD bleeding should be reduced
@roch No I dont plan to unless I have more symptoms appearing, I can try and order one online because i’m not able to go out and get one.
@laura1970 i have the nexplanon implant
@kallubsmqd
Nexplanon is 20 x more effective than birth control pills in preventing pregnancy. But just because it very rarely happens doesn’t rule it out. It is reassuring tho. To be sure, you could order a pregnancy test online, since you have a hard time getting out. I think it would put your mind at ease.
As an aside, with your constant bleeding, you could consider you ate getting enough iron in your diet. I have attached a picture with appropriate foods. If you dislike or are unable to eat these foods regularly, u could try iron pills. Beware, they are hard on the stomach and can cause uncomfortable constipation. I recommend taking them with a stool softener
