what does this mean???

Hey all, some of you may know my situation other may not so here's some info:
I am 25 yrs old mother of one.  My dd will be ONE may 21st :)
we have exclusively breastfeed until 7months we introduced solids, she is now eating 3 meals a day 2 snacks and bf around 5X a day ( one night feeding)  
I have been waiting for my first pp af to show up to give us a sign we could conceive a sibling for my dd.  I noticed Saturday (24th) I had blood in my panties.  I was excited but bummed at the same time.  I was hoping to catch the first egg so i wouldn't have to see af :P LOL the only thing is it was a brownish color like old blood.  and not very much.  I used a pantyliner the rest of the day and NOTHING.  still nothing.  I don't nkow what to think of it?  ALso, my daughter has been so restless i offer her her bedtime feeding and she doesn't want anythign to do with me.  I figured maybe becuase i thought i was starting my period.  My breast seem like they have DEFLATED!!!! i i don't know if my supply is drying up now or what :S  i continue to nurse when she demands and now the last 12 hurs shes been just clingy and has fed probably 5 times!!!!!!!!!! ugh i don't know what to think of all this does anyone have any experiances with this? advice is much needed and what are the chances i could be preg and it could be implantation bleeding?  I am so hopeful because i've wanted to give her a sibling and now the past week i've come to grips with "this is my life and i'm perfectly happy where we are at!!!" and thats exactly how it happend last time i was content with life and BAM prego!!!!! who knows and would it be too early to test if i just had a few spots on saturday?  I don't know what to expect from the first PP af, could this be it?  thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond= i'm so excited but confussed i'd like to rush out and buy a test but i'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that while breast feeding it is rare to ovulate.

Like Santan I can't really diagnose but I can give my input. Something I think it may be is that you are actually ovulating or have ovulated. The cycle I got pregnant I got ovulation bleeding and if you are cramping then that could be what it is. Keep your eye out and if you don't see anything for a couple weeks then you could maybe test. Keep an eye out on your symptoms.

Thank you for taking time to post anyways :) its much appreciated.  The spotting was a dark/brownish red and covered about 3/4 of the bottom of my panty (*sorry for tmi) nothing since. and that was saturday.  i've had  Little cramping- thinking i was staring my first pp af!!!!!!  i am quite crabby, tired, headache i've had some diarrhea, my abdomin this somewhat sensitive this morning, who knows i think if i don't get anything in the next week or two i'll re-test or just call my dr and find out what she thinks it is?   i would lke to tcall the dr today but i'm afraid it may be too early for anytone to tell whats up?  what do you think?  I took a hpt and came back neg. tues morning.

Was it pinkish??  any 'leaks' between then and now?
any similar/familiar pains?

For a non-medical professional like myself, its gonna be a tough one to diagnose :-)
wait it out (keep yourself engaged)

Good luck to you
