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.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could give their opinion please. My past 3 cycles have been 35days and the latest one was 41days. My dp and I have been ttc since the end of July. I got bit of light spotting on the 21st of August and this lasted a couple of days. It's way too early to be my periods, as it wouldn't have even been 28days so I've sorta crossed it out pretty much. I'm thinking it's implantation bleeding. I know not everyone gets implantation bleeding, I asked my mum and she had it with both my sister and myself. I'm not really sure when I ovulate as my periods have been a bit out of whack. My doctor suggested I try every second day, so what do guys think... am I pregnant?

some of us worry too much.  granted some of you might thave just cause, but those who are ttc just be patient and p.o.a.s. on the day of your missed period or 1-2 weeks after missed period that's when hcg levels should be high enough to give you a bfp.  if you're late a still testing bfn then get a beta blood test done to eliminate doubt and stress.  my husband and i have been ttc for 2 years and i have a lot of the same worries you do. i think i might actually have a BFP this month and got some hpts yesterday in preparation for when i test in a few days.  patience patience patience! :)

hi my last period was on june 23rd and i bled again on july17th however only when i wiped myself is when i was able to see it. it was also off and on. like there really was hardly anything there. So now it's august 18-19 and i haven't had a single period yet. However my breast has been a little sore and then stops. i'm exhausted constantly and i'm having ridiculous lower back aches oh yeah not to mention bloating.
Any opinions??? of what might be the cause?

Hi everyone.  I'm a mother of 2.  We use condoms for birth control, however, my hubby and I do not to use a condom and tend to have lots of sex during my period.  My last one was on (June 27).  My period is usually every 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 weeks.  Well, 2 days ago there was a good deal of spotting blood when I wiped after I peed once.  I thought this meant my period was about to start, but it hasn't come.  This is VERY abnormal for me.  If I spot at all before my period it always means that my period is only about 12 hours away.  It's been 2 days with no sign of my period and no more spotting.  Should I take a pregnancy test, or do I need to wait a few more days?
