Should I take a pregnancy test?

I have the implanon, and normally I never have any sign of a period, but over the last few days I've had a slightly blood coloured discharge. Should I take a pregnancy test to check that it isn't implantation bleeding? And if yes when should I take it to make sure it gives an accurate result? Or is it likely to just be a very mild period, I have been a little snappy and bloated :s-smilie:

If you really are worried then the only thing that will put your mind at ease is a test.

Well, if you think it could be implantation bleeding then you should do it now because if it is it should show up I think.

Some people find that the period-freeness doesn't last for the whole length of the implant, so you might just be returning to some bleeding from that. Still, the only way to know is to take a test. Do one now, and then if you're still not convinced, do one in about 2 weeks to be doubly sure.
