Hey I recently had my implant taken out a few days later I had my period. Then we started trying on Monday 18th I had mild cramps then it passed,( no bleeding). I don't know whether to buy a test what shall I do?

You started ttc on Monday 18th September, as in 2 days ago? I’m afraid it’s way too soon to take a test even if you ovulated on 18th. It takes minimum of 6 days after ovulation for implantation to occur (more commonly 8-10 days after) then can take 1-2 days after this to show up even faintly on a test. Do you know when/if you’ve ovulated?

I would do some research on how conception works before anything else. As your best chances are having sex around ovulation and then it takes at least 6 days for implantation to occur. It can take a bit to get your head around it all

Hey no sorry for the misunderstanding I finished my period on the 7th and been trying ever since. I'm noticing mild cramps now it started on the Monday 18th

When did you start your period and how long are your cycles usually? It still sounds a bit early to test but will depend on cycle length and when you actually ovulated

@Teisha89 it seems more likely that you ovulated around the 18th depending on cycle length. You usually ovulate 2-3 weeks after the start of your period. It’s still far too early to test.
