Implantation bleeding or early light period?!

TW: picture of bloody pad
So I usually have a 29 day cycle.
Every now and then through the years I have a 23/4 day cycle.
But the last while iv been having 29 days cycles.
This cycle me and my husband did the deed several times all before during and after my ovulation time.
Now iv been having random symptoms.
Headaches , nausea mainly acid reflux ryle nausea witch is quite common for me (iv been pregnant 3 other times one being a miscarriage) , feeling like crying about random things , suddenly lack of bladder control ... Sometimes since having my children this will happen when sneezing ect but recently its become very often witch is awkward lol.
Anyway few more symptoms but that is not the point of my post really. So now I'm on cycle day 26 (so 3 days before expected AF )and while sitting in bed this morning watching cartoons with the boys I had this horrible pain in my right side and then it sort of went and came back again and spread around more like a cramp.

It felt almost like period cramps but just a bit different. A weird feeling.
Then It went and I got up and started cleaning , then felt nauseous.
Then soon after went to the toilet and bleed a little . Red blood in a while and a drip in wee.
Now I have to note... When my period comes it usually comes full force. I feel a cutting open gushing feeling , go to the toilet and it floods out and then all day it will be heavy for 2 days then lighter for another 2 days. But it's usually pretty painful all day and I'm usually miserable and irritable.
I feel miserable right now , but in a few up kind of way , frustrated.
Now all day iv had very light compared to my period bleeding and no more cramping. Non.
Now it seems to have kind of stopped. It's been reasonably bright all day now it's a little brown stain in pants.

I text my husband at work this morning telling him in sad that I thought I was pregnant but period has come.
But I also can't help but feel like something isn't right.
My AF has a distinct feeling. Very painful and my mood is horrendous. But today I feel just weird.
I will update what happens next ... Wondering if anyone else experienced this ...
When should I test to check? I ordered some pregnancy test online yesterday supposed to come in 2 days ... I want to test straight away but maybe I should wait?
If it is implantation I guess it wouldn't come up positive straight away . Ahhhgggj ttc is annoying!!
The worst part is I feel like I have lived in a stupid bubble recently thinking only about ttc. I want to be more like my husband and be able to just not think about it lol.
Picture of the worst of the blood.
The small dark but is the bit when it was thicker and the rest was kind of watery like.
Picture 2 of the tiny bit on my pants now .
My period would normally completely cover that pad pretty quick.
Who knows what's happening!

Sounds very much like my experiences. Have you had implantation bleeding previously?

I had implantation bleeding with my first and with this pregnancy (currently 9 weeks). In both cases it lasted about 3/4 days.
This time it started on the Friday night and I assumed it was my period starting 3 days early but it never came to anything just stayed very low level and brownish blood. By the Monday I was pretty convinced it was implantation but couldn't be bothered with faint lines so waited until the Thursday to test to get a conclusive result and was pregnant.

Been to the loo 3 times since this post. First time was absolutely nothing there then this more bloody wipe nothing in the wee... Then this brown looking cm consistency on wipe.

The big red wipe makes me think I should stop thinking about it it's probably a period as it looks quite bright ... But again my normal period I would be wiping like that several times Everytime I went to the toilet and would need to often change pads. So I just don't know . It's such a headache .

@JuneySunshine thanks for replying !
My last 2 pregnancies no , although my first pregnancy I didn't find out until 16 weeks. I was 17 and living a bit of a crazy life where I just didn't really realize. And when I look back I think I might have experience implantation bleeding because I can't understand how I didn't notice missed periods lol honestly I'm not sure it was quite a while ago now .

Hi @Willowkuba how are you getting on today?

GRAPHIC PICTURE

Update :
So the next day it seemed like bleeding wasn't stopping . Not heavy enough to soak pads but when wiping there was a decent amount there so I have told myself to stop thinking about it and treat like a period to avoid heart ache.
No more cramps or other period like feelings.

Seems like so far today is less blood but will update later in the day .

Picture of yesterdays pad.
I'm thinking period as I have had some kind of lumpy clothes like bits and all iv read online people say implantation bleed wouldn't have that.

Just updating so other curious women can look at this example. :)

I have some tests that I will probably take one at some point just in case x

Okay. It's my period . I guess I can just be greatful it's a non painful one.
Did the test to just confirm so I can shit my mind up I'm kind of just sick of over thinking it.

Thanks for updating @Willowkuba
How confusing, distracting, disappointing. At least the test was clear and you can forget about it for this cycle.
