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, everyone. I am 19 and haven't had a period since early December. I took a home test last month and it came back negative. This week I've had "spotting" which really freaks me out. Should I take another test? I mean, I'm 3 months late with spotting... I have no idea what to think.

Hi my husband and I have been trying to concieve for almost a year and have had no luck. I went in for blood work and my OB says everything is good. My last cycle was on Feb 4 and it comes every 27 days. I am never more than two days late. However, two weeks before my cycle was suppose to start I had some brownish/pink spotting, and when I say spotting it was literally spots. This happened two days in a row. Now I am late and hpt came back negative the day after my missed period. I called my ob when I saw the spotting and he told me to wait and see if I start. How long should I wait to see if I start, I the hpt keep saying no?

My boyfriend and i use condoms religiously. We have never had sex without using one. However, the last period i had was around the 30th of December and went into January (probably ended on the 6th or so ). I should've had another period on January 30th or so into Feb, but I didn't. It is now February16th and for the past couple days it seems my period has been trying to come. I've had a little blood after sex and that period feeling but no actual official period. Now I'm not the most regular person in the world by any means. This is making me wonder if i could be pregnant. We are just so careful though. I am 24 and out of work and he's 25 and in school. No way can i fit a baby into the equation. I don't follow my period closely enough to be 100% on anything. I only know when my last period was bc it was around New Years. I haven't taken a test bc of the cost and bc it's all so unreal still.
