How soon after implantation bleeding can I take a home pregnancy test?

Hello,
I have had many signs of pregnancy like, swollen and tender boobs, stomach cramps on the left side, constant diziness and a few light headaches. My last period started on May 13th and I started on June 12th with a very light period. I typically have very heavy periods and this time it is light. I have read all about Implantation bleeding and not sure if that is what I am going thru.  I have heard many things and not sure which to believe. I have heard to wait 2 weeks after i stop bleeding to take a test, some say ok to test while bleeding and others say to wait a few days after I stop. Im not really trying to get pregnant but I would be happy if I was. Anyone have any advice? My periods have never been regular but my husband and I are stressed wondering if i am pregnant. Im thinking it wont hurt to test now while bleeding, in a few days after i stop and then maybe again in a few weeks. Thank you for all your help.

Hey everybody, well i dont have any children as yet. I always wanted a baby... Now it happens that i had sex a week before my period, i didnt know i could have gotten pregnant but im in my fertile age, 20, a week later i started having cramps, flu like symptoms, a higher temperature, and 2 days ago, i noticed a brown discharge, then it spotted, but only when i wiped. However, it came on like a very light period, im on glucophage, but i found out i didnt get pregnant all along because it was my bf, im fertile... But could i be pregnant?

it's probably just your period getting back into the swing of things. i wouldn't worry about it too much until next month... see if your period shows up normal; if not voice your concerns to your doctor again.  there might be a possibility that you could be pregnant again. every pregnancy is different, might be implantation bleeding.

I have 3 children already and since having my 3rd baby 4.5 months ago i havent had my period back , got it at 3 months and 6 weeks with the older two. i am breast feeding but that didnt mean anything last time. and i didnt get implantation bleeding with the 3 kids i have. but 2 weeks ago i had a very small amount of brown blood when using the tiolet, and then on sat i had a samll amount of red blood again on monday and then tuesday i had a very very small amount of brown watery stuff. i saw the doc yest and he said he thinks its just my period coming back but ive never experienced this kinad thing before, it usually comes on a very regular basis and once it comes it hear to stay for a week or so and then gone again. its weird. and comments are appreciated.
