this is SO cliche, I know...
...and I was always one of those people who got so annoyed by all of the girls who were freaking out asking if they could possibly be pregnant... but now I guess I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. My circumstances are a little different though. You see, I have implanon, the implant thing that is inserted into your arm, which is supposed to be 99.999 percent effective, which I got last year (2009) in September. Since I have had it, I have had a continuous period, not as heavy as my normal ones, but enough that I have to use a pad everyday. But I kept telling myself that I would wait it out, everyone said the bleeding could last up to six months before it straightened out. Well, I ended up waiting seven, and just a couple weeks ago it stopped. As it was in the process of stopping, I noticed really tender breasts, more frequent urination, and somewhat of a distended stomach... even my mom said I look pregnant (joking, of course, about a small amount of weight I have gained). Now after a week the bleeding has started again and all the other symptoms continue as well, and I am kind of freaking out. I feel like I have been so responsible about this whole sex thing, and I feel like with both types of supposedly the best protection out there it would be practically impossible to get pregnant... but these symptoms have left me wondering. Anyways, I'm sorry this is sooooo long... and I know the only way to be 100 percent sure is to go get tested, but I guess I just wanted to see what you girls say first... thanks a lot in advance

Go talk to your doctor.
I sincerely hope that one of the people whose advice you sought while you bleed for six months, was a doctor.
You need to speak to a medical professional. Now.
You are probably not pregnant, but if you are noticing physical changes and continuous bleeding you absolutely MUST talk to a doctor. Maybe nothing is wrong, but something certainly seems wrong, and you need a doctors help to figure it out.

I mean, there COULD be a chance of pregnancy, but you are right the best way to know is to buy a test. More than likely you aren't pregnant, but to be on the safe side, I would go buy a test and take it. Good luck!
