I have a dilemma.. Would anyone like to chime in?

Well, heregoes.

I thought this month might be my month in because of all of the crazy cramps I have been having, and then my period was a day late until today. Or, atleast I think so? Here's the thing... Normally, when I start, my boobs stop hurting the day before and my back starts aching badly right before, like thunder before a storm... And when it starts, it starts.

But this time, it started with the lightest pink, I could hardly tell if it was even blood or not. I'll admit to being excited, because I have seen so many pictures of implantation. But I didn't want to die later when the crimson tide really hit, so tampon. A few hours later, it barely had anything on it. I replaced with another, same thing. My first day is never like this.. But since they always say, there's a first time for everything, I neglected to buy a test. Seeing the negative makes me cry waay more than seeing the blood. My boobs still hurt, and the WAY they hurt today, Ive never experienced before. It felt like hot metal flareup pumps, right on the sides. Like a cramp but for boobs. And my back ache isnt intense and then. Its hurting from one side of my back to the other??.. coming and going. And I have been having cramps, but not the kind I get when she comes. It's this profound feeling I always have, clockwork every month. Like my entire abdominal region is falling inside.. Idk how to explain it.

Basically, I'm wondering if there's any possibility that this wax and wane spotting could be implantation?
