At how many weeks can I test for pregnancy?

I had just given birth 10 weeks and 2 days ago. I am breastfeeding my baby. In the past week, I have been experiencing pregnancy symtoms if you will. First, my sense of smell heightened- a month after it finally went back to normal, my breasts get tender sometimes, I have had very light spotting just for one day, and I have been having fatigue again. It just seems all too familiar, me wanting to only sleep and keep wanting to eat and also go bathroom. How long should I wait to take an at home pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy? My boyfriend and I first had sex 7 weeks post partum (with a condom- it didn't break or leak). Also, when I had very light spotting that one day, I experienced a little bit of cramping. (Sometime after 1st of this month).

6 weeks is when it shows up best but you can test the 1st day after your first miss period USE MORNING PEE tho you get your best results with morning pee

You want to take a pregnantcy test no earlier then 2 weeks after having sex. If you really want to be accurate wait 3.
