Sorry for the late response. Implantation bleeding is usually lighter then a period. What ended up happening?

I'm going through the same thing right now. I'v been spotting for over 4 days, light spotting, no cramping.  I've had 2 miscarriages in the past- both early on- within the first month- and everytime I have a little hope of being pregnant, my period comes. So, I'm a bit of a pessimist.  But, I am interested in finding out what the outcome is and why this is happening. I do not have a doctor's appointment until next week for a regular check up, not sure if I should be checked for this or not. Have not taken a HPT just because of past experience of miscarrying (such a sad feeling!)

It's been 31 days since my last period.  Thursday, I saw a little tiny bit of brownish discharge on the tissue when I wiped, so I expected my period Friday.  Nothing.  Today - no period.  I took a HPT yesterday that was negative.  However, I've been pregnant twice and both times I had a negative test a couple days before the positive one.  So, I'm wondering if this is impantation?  I hope so; we lost both the other babies to m/c.  I hope this time is different.  I'll take another pregnancy test tomorrow if I don't finally start.  Fingers crossed!!!
