I think I am cycled but am not 100% sure. What do I do now?

I checked the water every day but only posted every other. I added 5ml of NH3 everyday and it would take it up to around 2ppm. Then the next day would always be 0.25 or 0. I would assume the plants were consuming most of it.
Do I do a PWC and add fish?
