is this implantation bleeding or an early period

Amy
Been ttc my rainbow baby since august last year.. my period should start in 5 days but today when I went to the toilet there was what looked like a brown snotty ball with blood in and around it and still blood when I wiped.. I'm not having any period cramps like I usually do and I've never seen anything like that before does this sound like an implantation bleed please help..
