Heavy Implantation or very early AF?

So confused... cycle is usually 29-33 days (I can't ever remember it being less than 28days), so AF is due anytime *starting* next Friday... but I started spotting 3 days ago i.e. 7 days before AF due.

I was so sure it was implantation bleeding because it was very light, pinky-brown and only when wiping - and that's what I remember from being pregnant with DD. I'm really tired this evening (extra tired) and have been running to the bathroom all day, so that made me think that maybe I was...

Then, this evening, I started feeling crampy, just like AF. And when I went to the bathroom, I wiped and it was red... and a couple of hours later it was enough to have a few drops in the toilet (sorry, TMI I know). So, I've put in a tampon. Sigh. What are the chances? I'm about to go to bed and I'm so afraid I'll wake up in the morning to full blown AF :(

Hi, and thanks for asking :) Unfortunately, it was AF, at least it has turned into AF. I really think it was a failed implantation because it was the weirdest thing ever. I'm NEVER early, and combined with the light initial spotting and tiredness (which has since gone) I'm pretty sure something was happening. I was so disappointed - still am, but now at least I'm not wondering.

After my post it was mainly dark reddish brown for about 24 hrs, but today it turned bright red. AF wasn't due to start for at least another 2 days, so I've no idea now when to calculate from for next month because I don't know when to count the "1st day of AF"!

Back to the drawing board. Good luck to everyone else!
