I am 19 my periods are usually irregular but late. I normally have to time from the day that I ended and then count 30-35 days but this month has only been 24-25 days from the day I last started. I am usually kind of heavy and dark but this started spotting when I never do and it was mostly red with no clots like normal but some clear discharge with red strans and I usually stop cramping when I start but I am still cramping. It has some brow but not like normal and is lighter but I won't say just spotting but it will slow down and then speed up. I was wondering if this is early period or implantation bleeding? I don't know why I would be early I don't take meds or BC and my boyfriend and I use the pull out method. I don't want to be upset and find out that I'm not and quit smoking for nothing but I do smoke and don't want to being pregnant but I have been very late before at about 37 days but no early since I was on BC but that was about a year and a half ago. Please I don't want to quit smoking and then be disappointed again because I'm not but if I don't have another period then I will assume this was my period. What do I do? Why would I have an early period?

You cannot actually expect someone to be able to accurately answer this on the internet. You need to take a pregnency test. Either o and purchase one or, arrange to have free testing done at a local clinic. Even if everyone answering on this forun were an Ob-Gyn, you would not get an actual answer. This is really a problem that can be solved for five dollars or less.

Wait and see what happens when you normally would expect your period. If no period, try a pregnancy test... following the directions carefully. This could just be an off cycle. It happens from time to time... and there doesn't have to be an obvious reason for it. If you get a negative result, see what happens next month.

Since it appears you wouldn't mind if you happened to become pregnant, consider quitting smoking now. It will be far easier to go through the process now, and also insure better health should you become pregnant unexpectedly, than if you were to try and quit while going through the early stages of pregnancy. You wouldn't be quitting for nothing... your health, and the health of a potential baby, are very much worth it.

If you are not wanting to become pregnant, consider another form of birth control. The withdrawl method is not the most reliable as it often is not used correctly in a consistent manner.
