Brief Answer:
Can be miscarriage or implantation bleeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild pink or brownish discharge that you are having can be due to a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. The only way to diagnose is to get the blood Hcg levels evaluated and get an ultrasound scan done to find out the location of pregnancy. The HCG levels right now are too low and a miscarriage is more likely. The third possibility is of an implantation bleeding in which case the HCG levels will start rising.
Do take rest and consult your gynecologist for proper investigations to find cause and prescription medicines to prevent any early miscarriage.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Wait if it is just a spotting.

Thanks for writing again.
In case the bleeding continues and you need to use a pad for it then it is an emergency. If it stops after a mild spotting then you can wait for a day or two till you get an appointment with your gynecologist. If it is just a spotting then it can be an implantation bleeding which is normal.
Hope my answer is helpful.

This is normal. The pain of a miscarriage is more than that of a period. No need to worry. Just have rest and let the bleeding continue.
