Is it time?

So we’ve been trying for a little over a year. I think it’s time to take a test. I’m always wondering when to take a test and when not to. I am still skeptical about taking a test and scared but what do you ladies think? I think I had implantation bleeding this past week it lasted maybe like 2-3 days. I have been regular for a few months so I know my period should have come but it just hasn’t. My spotting was not a period. What do you ladies think? Should I take one? I’m just looking for support please. No negativity.
