Reasons for brown spotting from 5 - 8 dpo? Please answer!

Hi Ladies!
I'm new to this forum and have a question that hopefully someone can answer! I'm 38 years old and have never experienced any mid-cycle spotting before. (I have two children but didn't have this with them) On 5 dpo, I had this cramping that lasted about two hours and after using the restroom, I noticed some tan colored CM on my pantyliner. It progressed to brown for the next 24 hours (but was very light as opposed to heavy spotting) and then after BD'ing that next night with my husband, I had the slightest streak of red but mostly pink CM for the next 12 hours or so. It then turned back to brown and stayed that way through 8 dpo. Now I'm at 10 dpo and it's just my normal CM. I've been slightly nauseas and during those three days my headache would not go away! Since yesterday, my breasts are getting really tender as well. Does this sound like possible implantation to you? AF isn't due until Sunday, so it's too early to test yet....I would love your opinions!
Thanks so much!!

Yes!  Sounds like implantation to me!!

If I were you I'd wait until at least Friday to test!

Good luck!!!
