Brown blood what does it mean?

Hi, quick history, 32 TTC#1, irregular periods after coming off pill in April, AF in July and AF in September (after which we officially started trying), no AF since then. Been DTD at least twice a week just hoping to catch ovulation whenever it may be, if it even is happening but nothing so far. I have had really sore nipples all the time for the last couple of weeks. Took a handful of tests over the last couple of months and all BFN. We are not in a major rush to get preg but would be lovely if it happened soon.

So all of a sudden yesterday late afternoon I noticed when I wipe only, a murky brown/very slightly red tinged discharge. Only on the tissue, not in my knickers. This continued every time I went to the toilet and today also although on the last visit it seemed to have faded (approx an hour ago).

Would this be implantation bleeding? Start of my AF finally showing up?

Just to add my periods on the pill became practically non-existent so I came off the pill to try and regulate myself but this obviously hasn't happened yet. I have a GP appt on 11th as she did tell me earlier in the year if they didn't start to regulate come back and see her as the pill may have been masking something and she will do further bloods.

I have also had major acne all around my jaw line and under my chin which I have never had before. Why are our bodies so frustrating? :(

Fingers crossed - I got dark brown implantation bleeding and chin spots right at the beginning of pregnancy both times! But only next few days will tell really.

Thanks @Echobelly It would be amazing if it was but trying not to get my hopes up. I don't have any tests in the house right now so might buy another pack and test at the weekend, if it doesn't turn into AF that is!

Yes, give it a few days in the very least, this would be very early.

Well it looks like it was AF after all :( I know I said I wasn't in any rush but turns out it has devastated me that it has come along and it wasn't pregnancy. I know I haven been trying long it was just a blow to my emotions. On wards and upwards as they say!!
