How soon after implantation bleeding can I take a home pregnancy test?

[Buderfly82]

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, well i really don't know if i'm on my period but if i am, i started 4 days earlier then i was suppose to get it. And when i took a pregnancy it turned up negative, so what should i do. Should i wait a few days or week to retest again?

Wow, you're really mean.  Why in the world do you think it's ok to speak to people like that?  Everyone is here just to get information and to support each other. There's absolutely no reason to respond to anyone the way you did.

I went to the doctors today and I asked about implantation bleeding...it can last up to 2 weeks but they say if it goes on for over a week and a half you should see a doctor. I would take advice from doctors only because everyone is different..you know there's some people that think they know everything but need to realize that just because theirs was one way doesn't mean your will be the same.

I have a question. I have been trying to get pregnant and my last period was from Aug 29th to Sept 2nd and we had sex pretty much everyday after that until the 13th of the month and then on the 19th I got some pinkish blood when I wiped and today the 20th I got more blood, but only when I pee, sometimes its dark brown, sometimes bright red and sometimes pink. I haven't been wearing a tampon or anything and it has only leaked a little onto my panties. Went to the docs but the pregnancy test was neg. I have been having cramping like feeling (not severe, just like a tightness), bloated, extremely tired and not sure if the bleeding is normal. COuld I still be pregnant? Do you think this is implantation bleeding or not? Also, when can I take a early pregnancy test to find out accurately if I am actually preg. My period isn't supposed to be until around the 26th so this bleeding is early and not like my nomral heavy 5 day periods. Help .....

i feel the exact same way ! i had a period on Aug 28th-sept 2 so then we had sex evertyday and then i had bleeding on the 14th and now its not constint but when i wipe it is a little bit pink everyonce in awhile so i took a test this morning but it was neg so im so confused i guess i will wait a few days and try again later. im supose to go to the gyno on mon to see if my body is out of wack so i will let you know

Thanks for the response. It does sound like what I am experiencing. I also have little cramps on and off and slight back pain. But nothing like the cramps I normally get with my period. And the bleeding only comes when I go to the washroom. Sometimes its just when I wipe, sometimes nothing at all and sometimes a bit drops out into the toilet. Did you experience this as well. I normally have a heavy flow that lasts bout 5 days, so I am so confused, my period isnt supposed to be until the 24-26th. I also took a pregnancy test earlier and it was neg. but they say the body doesnt produce the pregnancy hormone until after implantation so I was thinking that's why its neg. Not sure, I will wait till this bleeding is done then test a couple days after that I think. Anyways, tell me what happens with you. Would love to know and I will keep u updated...
