I would buy a pregnancy test just to be sure... but usually any implantation bleeding will be days before your missed period. The cramps could be your period starting and although prominent veins are a symptom of pregnancy, that usually doesn't happen until about 9 weeks. For me they didn't start showing til 11 weeks. I'm not sure if you're trying to concieve or if this was just one of those things that happens sometimes (still a blessing either way I promise) but if you do happen to be pregnant you can always try to apply for state aid or if you're like me and they tell you you make too much but still can't afford the ridiculous costs of insurance, you can call around to some hospitals in your area. Many of them will offer a special payment plan or deal for pregnant women. I was trying to concieve... but still some things just don't happen how you expect. Good luck with everything.

It sounds like just a regular period - sometimes they're different for no reason, sometimes they're different because you produced more progesterone or estrogen that cycle. It's typically progesterone that causes veins to appear more prominent, so I would expect that you're just having a off cycle. However, if things don't start flowing in a couple of days, you might want to take an hpt on the off chance that what you're experiencing now is implantation bleeding. But it's more likely just a weird AF.
