your gut instinct knows its not your period as it is lighter and looks brownish. not everyone gets the implantation bleeding but you yourself will notice the difference

It varies.  Some people don't have any bleeding during implantation.  Generally you will ovulate (and thus be able to conceive) midway through your cycle.  Implantation takes place one to two weeks later.  Frequently, you will notice implantation (if you have cramping, spotting, bleeding) one week after conception/one week before you would be due for your period.

If it is time for your period to start and you are having bleeding, it is probably your period starting.  If you are not due to start your period for another week and you are having some bleeding, it may be implantation bleeding.
