Too early to do a test?

When is the earliest I can do a pregnancy test? I've recently had my implant (3 weeks ago) removed and no period yet. But I'm having pains in my lower abdomen and my breasts are tender. Could this be early pregnancy symptoms? Thanks

After implant out I had a ds nine months and ten days later. Assuming you ovulated 2 weeks after removal it's a bit early to test. Give it a week.
Good luck.

Removal of hormonal contraceptives can mimic pregnancy symptoms. It’s one of those weird facts you don’t hear about until you experience it and go wtf. I’d wait another 7 days. Then test to make sure if af has still not returned. But it can take up to 6 months for your cycle to return and ovulation to occur so you may be in for a long waiting game with af. Of course you can get pregnant right away too so I personally did check occasionally.

Best thing to watch out for is when you start getting ewcm again as then you’ll probably be ovulating. Af will follow

None of this was really explained to me when it was inserted or removed so wasn't sure what to expect. I was spotting around 5 days after having it removed and am seriously noticing a difference in my body (weight loss, better mood etc). So hopefully it won't take too long. Thanks for the advice x

I also had ewcm around a week ago so does this mean that ovulation has started again? Or is this normal following implant removal ?
