Q: Implantation bleeding or early period?

Hi!
So this morning I woke up feeling fine and then all of a sudden I started having cramps/bleeding. If this is my period it would be more than a week early *about ten days, can't remember the exact day my last period started*.
I am underweight so I am used to having late periods that are generally very short.
After I started bleeding I went online to look up the reasons why I would have an early period and the first few sites I looked at were all about implantation bleeding.
What I am experiencing is really unusual for me. Normally I start really heavy, but I am really light and there is a lot of brown vs. the normal red that occurs during the first few days of my period.
Last week I took two ridiculously long naps and have been going to bed early. I have had dizzy spells *but am used to them because its not unusual for me to get them*.
I am not bloated. In fact I usually get up to 112 pounds right before my period but am currently at 108 and have been for several days now.
I have been getting mild headaches and back pain for the last week now as well though both have been generally very mild.
Oh, and when one of my cats decided to stroll across my chest this morning it hurt like crazy, and have been tender. But they don't seem as large as they normally get when I'm on my period.
I'm so confused due to the fact that it is so early and I'm having these mixed signals which are so often related to getting my period but are unusual for me personally.
Also... yesterday I started crying after I read an article. Normally it takes a lot for me to cry and I have to be at wits end but I was perfectly fine and then all of the sudden I'm crying...
I know if I took a pregnancy test so soon it would come out negative so I am just looking for advice or people with experience. I know implantation bleeding only occurs in one third of women also. But no matter how much i looked it up there was no typical type of woman who would get implantation bleeding.
And its really been hard to find any information about whether symptoms of pregnancy are different in underweight women.
Any thoughts or advice would be really useful. Thanks (:

Umm no. I am not trying. I would not mind having a baby with my current partner but now just is not the time. I'm only 20 and I still have a lot of college left to complete (which is really important to me).
I am just really confused and afraid right now. The situation is a little bit difficult for me. I don't want to freak my partner out by it either but this is soooo terribly unuusal for me. It's never happened before.
And i am moving to a new state in several weeks and don't have a doctor there (or in my current state). My period isn't due for a while and waiting for it will kill me...
I'd love for this to be nothing and be all in my head but I'm really freaked out by the whole thing...
I have been researching this pretty much all day and am just more confused then I was before...
