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,

my boyfriend and i haven't had sex yet, but a little over two weeks ago we were messing around in the shower and his penis touched the outside of my vagina a few times. He did not ejaculate on me though. About a week ago my breasts became really sore and they still are. And on Friday I started light bleeding but on saturday and sunday the blood was bright red, which is unlike implantation bleeding. The bleeding stopped today but usually my periods are seven days and they are a lot heavier.

Could I be pregnant?

I have began spotting 3 days before my period is supposed to start.I had intercourse on the day of ovulation without protection and it has been 12 days post ovulation.my culls are 28 days apart every month and I ovulate regularly.I'm cramping as if my menstrual cycle is about to begin and I have this blood tinged discharge only when I wipe.when using a tampon it barely covers the tip with blood...is this considered implantation spotting or could it be my cycle beginning early? I've taken three hpt and they were all negative...PLEEEEEASE HELP! !

I ovulated almost a week ago. I had some light cramps on my left side, the same side I ovulated on. Then a few days later I started having periods like cramps. I'm not due for my period for another two weeks. A few days ago I had a few drops of light brown blood. Could I be pregnant?
