Could you explain this context please?

I don't understand this context. Could anyone explain it?

"I've never wanted kids.
The idea of becoming a teenage mum repulses me so I got the implant.
I'm going to uni next year, to become the only thing I've ever wanted to be...
But now I have all the symptoms of early pregancy, and I'm sad that I'm not pregnant. I'd love to have your child!"

I really don't understand this woman. Why did she get the implant? because of the idea of becoming a teenage mum? It sounds so ridiculous to me. And what's the only thing? I guess it is that she's becoming mum. I also don't understand why she is sad. she said just earlier that she is pregnant. Why is she sad that she is not pregnant?
I don't get the context completely. I'm so confused.

She got the implant because she did not want to become a teenage mother. She does not tell us the only thing she ever wanted to be - presumably a doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. She is not pregnant, She is merely (for some unexplained reason) displaying the symptoms of early pregnancy.

  • She got the implant because she did not want to become a teenage mother.

  • She is not pregnant, She is merely (for some unexplained reason) displaying the symptoms of early pregnancy.
  • She is now sad that she is not pregnant because, despite her earlier thoughts, she would now like to bear the child of the person she is addressing.

The woman did not want to get pregnant as a teenager. She wanted to go to university so she could have a professional career. She got a birth control implant to protect her from becoming pregnant.
