Should I take a pregnancy test or not?

Home More advice Health

I'm on birth control & have been for 2 years now .. & I thought everything was okay until about a week ago I had implantation bleeding, but no major signs of pregnancy (my appetite has increased, my skin has became dry & broke out, I've been a little nauseated in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings, I've had headaches & mood swings, & I've had cramps that feel like menstrual cramps). lately I've been craving sweets & soda, & I'm a health freak, I don't eat junk food & I constantly drink water. I started my period a day early & it's been VERY light and VERY short; it usually lasts 4 - 5 days with a constant flow, but it's my third day and there is no bleeding at all.

should I take a pregnancy test? how long after I'm off my period should I wait to take it?
