I already have a DD, but I can’t remember for the life of me how I felt in early pregnancy, hence the post. Basically:

My DH and I are actively having unprotected sex without tracking my cycle. We want a second child but with our first child, we became obsessed with tracking and it caused us so much stress that it ended up taking 2 years to conceive (we had testing done but no issues found). So this time we aren’t tracking. This is a bit tricky though as I’m very irregular and can’t confidently say when my last period was.

Anyway…
Yesterday I had bad period cramps, to the point where I put a pad on to be ready. I get bad cramps so this is normal for me. The cramps suddenly stopped after 3 hours and haven’t returned since. I feel fine in myself. Could that have potentially been implantation? How long should I wait to test (days, weeks, etc)? I don’t want to waste tests.

Thank you :)

If you have irregular periods it's advised to test 21 days after unprotected sex.

It's hard to say without knowing where you are in your cycle. How long has this one been so far? How long was your last one? If I were you I'd start temping etc to get some idea of when to expect things. Good luck!
