Guys, I Was Due To Come On My Period The Start Of April And 3 Days Ago I Found Pinkish Blood In My Pants When I Woke Up, I Then Thought It Was My Period And Put A PantyLiner On When I Went To Wipe My Self There Was No More Blood, Then When I Went Back Again I Had Little Spots Of Blood And I Kept Having It For Two Days. I Thought This Is Not Normal Because My Periods Last 4-5 Days And Are Very Heavy And Painful, But Ive Been Having Back Pains, Stomac Cramps, Feeling Sick, Loss In Appetite, Feeling Very Tired And Having Heartburn (which ive never had before) I Dont Know If I Had Implantation Bleeding Or Just A Random Bleeding. Im So Confused !!

I am a 42 year old woman who is regular and my period last for seven days and it is normally heavy.  I don't spot at all on the first day neither.  My period was due on September 23 and it didn't come.   I did have sex with my husband when I was the most fertile. On October 2 I had spotting only on the toilet for about three hours and then nothing for two days so I assumed I may have been pregnant so I took a HPT and it was negative. I still did not get my period so I took another HPT three days later and it was negative again.  Then on October 7 I started to spot again and have been bleeding since then but it is very, very light and not the normal color of my period.  Can some one please advise as to whether they think this may be implantation bleeding or not?
