Implantation bleeding or period?

Have any of you experienced Implantation bleeding? I had my first IUI on 7/7 and I'm not due to get my period until the 25th of this month, but it feels like it came yesterday. I'm crampy and I have some bleeding that's more than a few spots. I'm still going to take a pregnancy test on Monday, but I have a feeling it's going to be a BFN and this is my period starting early. I already feel upset about if and I don't even know my results yet. :(

    Implantation bleeding can happen, but it is usually unlikely. I can't see your siggy if you have one because I'm mobile. If you used any sort of fertility meds, it is possible that they have messed with your cycle. That happened to me on all of my Femara cycles.

    Me: 30  DW (aka C): 29

    Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12

    ***CP mentioned***

    We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm.  8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy.  We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET.  I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013. 

    11/14/14 -  Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good. 

    12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2

    12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)

    1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2

     ****All Welcome!****

    We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.

    I've had implantation bleeding both heavy and light with all 3 of my pregnancies. However I've also had really wonky cycles when I was TTC (as in going from 29 days to 22 days, etc.)   If I were you I'd POAS (take an over the counter test).   Good Luck!

    Thank you ladies :) I'm not currently on any fertility meds at the moment, the doctor didn't think it was necessary for the first time around. I'm going to POAS on Monday, so we'll see! I'll keep you all posted. Thank you for calming me down a bit.

    I didn't have implantation bleeding but I've read somewhere that it can even look like a very light period.  My mother bled a little with me for each of the first three months and still went on to have a very easy and healthy pregnancy, so anything can happen.
