When Can I Test for Pregnancy?
Question
How soon after I suspect implantation bleeding should I test for pregnancy? If I test while I suspect I’m bleeding from implantation, should the test be positive or negative?

Modern tests claim to be accurate from 8 days after conception. I would wait for 12-14 days after you think you conceived to test to get more of the hormone in the test. By then implantation would have occurred regardless. Remember you can have a false negative but rarely do you get a false positive. Good Luck.
