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.

I am not due for my period for another week yet and have been taking the contraceptive pill for years. Two days ago i stated getting brown blood when i went to the toilet and slight cramps. It has slowly gotten a bit heavier. Could this be implantation bleeding and when should i take a pregnancy test? Also should i continue the pill? I'm confused....

hi im new 2 site. Every month my period lasts for 5 to 7 days. the last 2 months they have lasted 3 -4 days and has been lighter den usual. I ALWAYS have severe cramps but the last 2 months theres been nothing. This month i have bled the first two days but nothing heavy. Then the last 2 days i only spot when using bathroom nd mayb a little couple drops on pantilinear. The color changes from bright red to pink to a brownish red. I have taken numerous pregnancy test  throughout the past 2 months. ALL have been negative. I have been feeling a little extra tired, my stomach is sensitive to sertain things i eat (even things eaten on regular) and i tend to feel the need to make a bowl movement more then usual and my bf says im eating more than usual (i havent noticed). But is there a possibility i may be expecting a little one?

Hi.....i had my period from the 28th april to around 5th/6th may....me and my fiance had sex on 7th may then on the 11th i had very very light pinkish blood. i also had what felt like period cramps. my periods are very very irregular as i always miss my pill so im not sure when im supposed ti be on. I did a test last night and i think it came back negative, i thought i saw a very very faint line but wasnt sure if it was my eyes playing tricks on me. would this be to early after the spotting to take a test if i was pregnant. also i seem to be urinating alot and my breasts feel a bit tingly but nothing painful. could someone please help!

After reading all your excellent advice I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on my current situation.
Me and my partner decided to try for a baby and I came off the depo injection aug 09. According to my ovulation calender I was most fertile on days 11 - 14 of my cycle, I have a regular 28 day cycle. I had sex every day of my fertile days then on day 22 (9 days after my most fertile) I started to get very light pink spotting when I went to the toilet, this happened twice in 2 days and then turned a browny colour once on second day and now has totally stopped. I was just wondering if this could be implantation bleeding?
I have taken 2 preg tests, 1 on day 22 of cycle which was neg and then 1 today which is day 24 of my cycle which had the faintest positive line ever and I dont kno whether it was just me seeing things lol.
Anyway I am due to start my period on 19th may and was wondering whether I should wait and do another preg test or if another test would work earlier, I know I dont have much longer to wait but the suspence is unbearable.
