Brief Answer:
Period bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern.

It is due to period bleeding not an implantation bleeding.

Brown color of blood due to old blood.

Implantation bleeding usually occur in a form of spotting and for 2-3 days only.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck

Sorry for delay in my response.

Red blood indicate fresh bleeding and brown colour indicate old blood.

It can be normal physiological variation in her case.

Sometimes it can be de to hormonal imbalance,infection and blood disorder, if it continue in her 2-3 cycle the problem needs evaluation.

Hope it is clear.
