When can I test?
SO.. I have a short 24 day cycle, on the dot. We didn't track ovulation timing this month as it was our first month and just was going with the flow. But now I'm in the dreaded waittt wishing I would be able to say my DPO. I do know that my next AF is due 8/14. I had implantation spotting (three small red dots in my underwear) on 8/4. I have been tired, cramps and TMI pooping a lot.
On 8/7 with first morning urine I got a what I thought was a faint positive on a wondfro strip. I called my doctor excited and they saw me same day to do a blood test (I have medications that would need to be adjusted upon a positive test). The urine to them was negative, and my blood showed less than 1. :(. SO SUPER BUMMED.
My question is do I have hope? Is it to early for these tests we did to tell? I am supposed to get blood work done again on Monday 8/14. ( Day AF is due ). Technically I am testing way early right? Even for blood work to show positive? When should I retest?

A situation like this is tough to know. What you experienced could have been implantation bleeding, but it also could have been breakthrough spotting. It sounds like you tested too early, to me. You could start testing again today, but you'll get the most accurate results on the day your period is due. If you have some cheapie tests, I'd go ahead and start testing with FMU. If not, wait for your next blood test on the 14th.
