Hi and thanks for sharing your concern with us on HCM.
The bleeding could be anything from an implantation bleed to a delayed period. From the dates you have provided, assuming that you have a regular 28 -30 day menstrual cycle, you seem to be 7 to 8 weeks late (last period 30 July).
The best way to confirm is to either do a home pregnancy urine test (not very accurate but convenient and cheap) or to go to your regular doctor and have him or her perform a blood test for serum beta HCG levels - this is the most accurate way to determine if you are pregnant or not.
Hope this helps. Good luck
