Implantation bleeding?

If you think you're having implantation bleeding, how many days should you wait to test? I'm 7 DPO, I don't normally get cramps until the day after my period starts, and my periods are very regular (due in 5 days). Last night and a few times today today I've had mild cramping and just noticed a small amount of brown blood. How many days did you all wait to test after suspected implantation?

I've never been pregnant, but I've read that it takes 2-3 days for the pregnancy hormone to build up after implantation. So, I think testing on 10dpo would be a safe bet. Best wishes!

It's heavier today so I think it was just my period coming early. Which is really weird because I've been charting for a year and a half (trying to not get pregnant) and it always comes every 27 days. Now it's the first month we're TTC and it comes 5 days early, and only 7 dpo.

UPDATE It's now 8 1/2 dpo and the bleeding stopped. Took a test - negative, but probably too soon anyway. Still cramping. I'm so confused.
