Can implantation bleeding affect the results of a pregnancy test?

Yes, you can take a pregnancy test from day 12 through 15 after ovulation. Experts do recommend to wait until you miss your period, as this way you leave a reasonable period of time for your hCG levels to increase should embryo implantation in uterus have occurred.
