If I have my period and less than 2 weeks later I have another period, does that mean that I didn't ovulate in that cycle? And if I did, do I have to wait until my next period to test for pregnancy or wait until the previous cycle would have ended?

Were both "periods" normal in amount and number of days as a usual period? Have you had irregular periods before?
You likely ovulated prior to whichever period came at the expected time. You wouldn't ovulate twice in a cycle. Since you had a period, there would be no need to test for pregnancy. If you are trying to conceive, see what happens when you normally would expect your period for July.

No, my second period lasted about 3 days and was a little lighter than normal. My normal period lasts about 7 days and is heavy. So if I had the bleeding on the 4, 5, and 6 and had sex on the 3, 7, 8 and 9 there most likely isn't a chance of pregnancy? My last full period was on may 22. I started bleeding again on the 4th.

Since you have been trying to conceive, and your last normal period was May 22, you may want to wait several more days to see if you have a normal period for June. If not, you could always try a test at that point.
It's possible the lighter bleeding in June was just a hormonal shift, or possibly irritation from sex on the third. With your last normal period having been the end of May, the sex in early June may result in pregnancy.
If you decide to test in about a week or so, and you get a negative result... obviously keep trying to conceive and see what happens with your July period.
Good luck!

My last period was May 22. I had some bleeding on the 3-5 of June. It was not like my period. It was lighter and only lasted 2-3 days. My periods are normally regular. I had sex on the 1,3,6,7, and 8 of June. Could have I gotten pregnant even though I was bleeding?

If you had sex.. you could get pregnant. Having it during a period is no guarantee you would be safe. Anyplace that tells you that you can't, should be avoided for any other advice.

I had a regular period on May 22. I had what seemed like a shorter lighter period on the 4 and 5 of June. I had sex on the 1,3,6,7,8 of June. Is it possible that I could have gotten pregnant during that time due to the time in between? Could I have ovulated during that time? All my pregnancy tests have been negative.

ANY time you have sexual intercourse there is a possibility of pregnancy. I would suspect that the flow you encountered on the 4th and 5th was not a true period, which would make the timing for pregnancy very possible. Yes you could have ovulated during that time. However, its still a bit early for pregnancy tests. I would wait another week before taking any more.
