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.

Hello :)
So many of these questions are posted on this forum with no answers?!?!?
I wonder if I can have some help please??
I am 23 and so is my boyfriend we have been having unprotected sex usually each day. I thought I came on my period on tuesday (7th nov) which was early  and it was so light and now stopped. for a week before I felt a nausea like a travel sickness. Am I just being paranoid or could I be pregnant? Is it too soon to take a urine pregnancy test? Thank you so muchly :) x

Hi there. The reason you may be finding it difficult falling pregnant even when you are 'doing it' so regularly is because it takes 3 days for sperm to mature. If you have sex more than once every 2-3 days your partner is ejaculating less sperm each time (even if the amount of fluid is the same) so by the time you were fertile he may have been very low on sperm count (or had none at all). My doctor clarified this for me a couple of weeks ago. You'd know if you were preg by now so hopefully you are pregnant and the vomitting wasn't a bug :)
