Hello!
I read carefully your query.
The way you describe the abdominal pain may due to periods and this is called dysmenorrhea.End all the symptoms you mention above nausea,mood swings and abdominal pain can be normal during this period of the month.
But you are right that some times the implantation of the fertilized egg in uterine wall can cause a light bleeding.
Implantation bleeding is simply defined as light spotting that may appear during the implantation process. The color of the blood will not be red, as with your period, but typically a pinkish or brownish shade. If you are bleeding heavy and red blood is less likely for that to be implantation bleeding.

In the case you suspect that a possible pregnancy has occurred you should do a home pregnancy test to exclude this possibility.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
