Nursing The Baby, Not Had Periods Since Delivery, Experienced Brown Discharge. Is It Implantation Bleeding?

Hi, I have 2 girls one is 2 and the other is 8 months now I am breastfeeding the 8 month old exclusively...we have started solids since she was 5 months. I still breastfeed every 3 hours or so with her...I run a lot and havent had a period. I did not get a period with my first until she was 13 months but I was on BC. I am not on BC with my 8 month old I did not like its effects the first time around...anywyas this past saturday I experiences brown discharge for a majority of the day...Sunday came and it was no longer brownish in color. Could this be implantation bleeding should I be taking a test?

Hello!
If you have unprotected intercourse and this has happened 3-4 days before ovulation the chance of being pregnant is very big because you are not on BC.
For this reason this could be period or implantation bleeding.
To confirm this you should take pregnancy test at home.
