Can implantation bleeding be heavy?

I'm 43 and TTC (first baby) - this morning i had what i thought might be implantation bleeding (pinkish or brown as it's always described, but then red appeared, more like a regular period, but still lighter than than regular flow. Still able to get by on just panty liners at the moment.  All other signs (ovulation timing, tiredness,etc.) seem to point to pregnancy.  Was wondering if heavier implantation bleeding could be common when you're over 40?  Thanks for any input.

So ive had most of the symptoms,
Nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, &breast tenderness. I had light bleeding on the 9th which was a brownish color then the next day it was almost somewhat like a regular period but lighter then usual and the same the next day then my period just stopped. My period lasts up to 6 days its never been shorter. Could this be implatation bleeding?
HELP!

Hi I don't know if anyone is still posting on this but if you are can anyone help I think I may be experiencing implantation bleeding, my period is not due until 13th November it's now only the 3rd i had sex during the time i would have bern ovulating and yesterday I had menstrual like cramps which I don't usually experience when I get my period only ever had them once when they first began .... I bled heavily yesterday which is also unlike my regular periods as usually they start off light get only a little heavier and then stop usually last 5-7 days today the bleeding is a lot lighter than yesterday and a few tiny clots but not a lot when I wipe it's red not brown like its usually described as and the pains have reduced in my stomach and back I did also have tender to touch almost painful nipples about for about a week which seem to have gotten better about 4 days ago my breasts also seem to have gotten bigger slipping out my bra lol but that is all the symptoms I've experienced which is why I'm unsure oh and going the toilet a little more than usual nothing to extreme yet though I hope I am but can't test yet so just wondering if anyone else has had anythin similar and been pregnant??
