Implantation bleeding?

[hlfayers]

Hey girls,does this sound like implantation to you or just a early period?

I started light bleeding 2 days ago when I wiped,yesterday it was a little heavier. This is 10 days before my period is due,
I have a 31 day cycle and normally come on the 18th is every month.
I thought it could be a early period but that would mean I’m 10 days early.
I had light cramps yesterday but no way near what my normal period cramps are like,

I’m very confused do any experience if you’ve ever been this early or if you’ve ever had implantation bleeding would help.

Thank you!

Unfortunately it’s not always easy to tell as it varies. It’s usually listed as similar to a period although my experience was bright red blood that was the amount you would get from a paper cut. Only way to tell is to test in a few days. I spotted my blood 11 days before af due on average of 33 day cycle and got a very strong bfp day before af due on a first response. If you test early the consistent advice from ladies on her is use pink dye instead of blue and clear blue digital needs a higher level of hormone to detect a pregnancy so if your buying tests I’d advise first response

Thank you :)
The blood was very light red and then went to brown today.
I shall wait to see if AF turns up and if not test with a pink dye

@hlfayers as @EnjoyItAll says it is near impossible to tell until you get a BFP when AF is due. Do you definitely know you ovulated? I've had IB which was very light brown spotting when wiped and lasted only 8 hours but each lady is different and some have it heavier. I've also had a couple of cycles where I haven't ovulated and AF has shown up a week or so earlier - usually not quite as heavy as a normal period. I will day in all 3 occasions that that has happened I've fallen pregnant the very next month! (I successful, 1 MC and the pregnancy now which is still early days (5 weeks).
