Me and my partner have been trying to conceive for about 6 months I had been on pill and implant for around 4 years since my first child but stopped 6 months ago should I be worried and go to gp ??

I know it feels like it but 6 months isn't that long (although if you're over 35 I think the advice is to see your GP after 6 months). It can take your body a while to adjust to being off birth control. How are your cycles? If you're irregular it might be worth seeing your GP sooner. If you're regular and you're ovulating then I would try for a few more months before seeing the GP. If you're under 35 and having regular periods, they'll just tell you to come back after a year.

You might want to ask MNHQ to move this to conception as you're more likely to get responses there I think.

Are you charting your temperatures? I find it's a great way to check for ovulation.
Best of luck!
