It depends completely on your menstrual cycle.

Thus implantation bleeding would likely be seen around the same time menstruation would be due.

A menstrual cup is a type of menstrual product.
Menstrual cups are small bell-shaped cups that you put into your vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual flow before it leaves your body - these are normally made from medical grade silicone, natural gum rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer.
To use a cup you fold [there are various folding methods] then isnert vaginally much as you would a tampon, then once in place the cup opens and you turn it to create a seal between the cup and the vaginal canal in order to prevent leaking. To remove you grab the base of the cup to break suction, remove, and then empty.
Menstrual cups are a popular alternative to tampons because they are safer and more hygienic than tampons - do not harbour bacteria, do not effect vaginal pH, do not damage vaginal tissues, do not contain harmful chemicals, and do not prevent vaginal cleaning. As cups are safer they have never been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome, nor do they cause vaginal infections, irritation or allergic reaction, increased bleeding, increased menstrual cramps, or damgers of cumulative exposure to toxins like dioxin.
As cups pose no health risks there are fewer precautions to follow - they can be worn for 12 hours, used with any menstrual flow, use before menstruation, worn overnight while sleeping, and there is no need to alternate with pads - making them more convenient than tampons or pads. As menstrual cups hold more flow and have light suction this also means they don't leak like tampons or pads so are more reliable.
Some benefits of menstrual cups;
- Safe.
- Healthy.
- Hygenic.
- Mess-free.
- Leak-free.
- Convenient.
- Reliable.
- Comfortable.
- Cheap.
- Green.
- Ethical.

What would cause severe cramps and clotting during period?
There are some women who have a very heavy menstrual flow, and it is accompanied by severe cramps. Not all women have this (in fact, most do not); but those who do are often very uncomfortable and it impacts their quality of life. The causes for it vary-- in some cases, it is genetic and other women in the family have had it. But in other cases, there are certain medical conditions and syndromes that can cause excessively heavy bleeding during the period.
The good news is that while a heavy period and menstrual cramps can be aggravating, it tends to be treatable. You should visit a gynecologist, who will examine you and find out what is causing your symptoms. The doctor may then be able to prescribe something to regulate your menstrual flow and help you to feel better.
