Implantation bleed or early period? confused!

Hi, i am a bit confused and upset. i had my period on 1st sept, normal period, and i am always 28 day cycle. my period wouldnt be due til 29th sept, but yesterday i had a bleed, brown at first then pinky red. i worked out that yesterday i was 9 days past ovulation, and have never been early, some one said it might be an implantation bleed. Any ideas people or am i just hoping?

have you done a pregnancy test? implantation bleeds can occur at the time your period would have occurred (about a week after ovulation). i had an implantation bleed at 10 weeks pregnant and it was brown (which indicates old blood). i would do a preg. test but dont be surprised if it comes out negative because if u r pregnant it is only early stages and they only have about a 53% success rate if testing early. if it is neg and u dont have a period, then do another test next week
