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.

With my first son I missed a period, when I was suppose to have my period I had this brown discharge that went to pink(OVERLOOKED IT).....Sooo I had pink spotting for awhile.........I Did not find out I was pregnant with him until I totally missed my period that month & was beginning to be due for another period........Same thing happened with my 2nd son.....Now this month I have missed my period, after missed period I had brown/pink discharge for like a week, now nothing.....I Have had nausea, that I never expierenced nausea this soon in my other pregnancys....Took a blood test about a week ago while I was still spotting and it was negative, three days later I took a urine test at home and it was neg...Doc said it might just be too soon....I Think I am and assuming that the spotting was implantation bleeding....Planning on taking another pregnancy test at home here in a couple days & also have a appt at the obgyn for a pap Feb 2 so he might be able to tell me more......Now my question is....Does anyone think I am & it`s just too soon?? I Know it`s similar to my other pregnancys, but never expierenced a neg pregnancy test with them, I Think it`s maybe just too soon & I am driving my self crazy wondering......

Well u could be pregnant, Im not sure I think by know u would show on a hpt, I know I have 2 previous kids that are 9 and 5 yrs old, we wanted another one so after 10 very, very, long month I just found out I was pregnant, With this 3rd pregnancy I took a hpt 8 dpo and it was a faint postive, then I started to spot even thou my period wasnt due for another 7 days. I knew that something was different about my body because i wasnt having my normal symtoms i do a week before my period, I took another hpt test 12 dpo and it was a very clear postive! I did drink green tea (Pure leaf) every day up to ovulation, IM not sure if that was what helped me to get pregnant, but it worked! Every pregnancy is different some woman dont show a positive until well after there period , But I think that u will know when it happens, even thou u may not think so u there will be something that tells u inside, it happened to me several times, even thou I denied that I was pg even before I found out, we always know! I really hope for the best for u, Im sure its just the matter of time now

I just had a m/c at 6wks pregnant on October 26th. I still haven't had my period yet but for the past two days I have had spotting but only when I wipe. Could this be my period or possibly implantation bleeding. Previously when I had implantation bleeding, it only lasted for a day. Please help.
