Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear user ! Thank you for posting here .

I read your question carefuly and I think that first you should start a treatment for vaginal infection .

According to the symptoms may be Bacterial Vaginosis and you should start the treatment with metronidazol.
Keep the area clean use Apple cider vinegar douche , youghurt will help your vaginal Ph be back to normal . You all feel better with the proper treatment don't worry.
You should do also a vaginal swab to rule out any Sexualy Transmitted Diseases. (SST).chlamydia, Gomorrhea , Trichomonas ...
About the bleeding usually implantation bleeding is very light ( we call it spoting ) ,it's Brown or pink and usually last for 2 days.The period bleeding its heavy bleeding , dark color and last for days as your normal period.

You can do a home pregnancy test after 10 days to confirm.
Ask an appintment with your gynecologist to confirm the infection and to start the treatment.

Hope I have answered your question .
If you have any further clariffications I will be happy to help .
Take Care .
Dr Rudina.

Brief Answer:
Please get a pregnancy test done to confirm.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again!
Brown blood and cramping might be early sign of possible pregnancy but to be assured if you are pregnant, only pregnancy test can confirm .

Some women usually experience cramping and spotting before pregnancy, while others experience the same symptoms turned out that they are not pregnant (could be sign of early periods or ovulation ) .

I understand that you want to know if you are pregnant or not for sure , but only pregnancy test can confirm it. You can take it after 10 days if your period doesn't come . For the time being, just need to wait, can't do anything else .

Wish it was helpful
Take Care
Regards

Brief Answer:
Follow the instruction

Detailed Answer:
Hi again !.
Could be a sign of pregnancy , but if you have heavy bleeding not just small clots could be your period or Go to the gynecologist to check out for any possible mischarge (If you were pregnant ).

Bright red blood means fresh blood( New bleeding ) Brown blood means ( old blood , no new bleeding) both are sign of implantation bleeding .Please follow the instruction about the pregnancy test and check for SST .
Don't worry if you are pregnant you can discuss with your doctor to keep or terminate your pregnancy ( it's safe with medication to do that) .

Take Care !
Wish you good health .
