Help - brown discharge after one faint positive test

Help!! I am 4 days late on my period - I was due on my period on Sunday just gone (13th august) and it is now Thursday 18th august). I have been feeling extremely nauseous and have lost my appetite so so much this week ever since Monday. I have been having strange little pains at the bottom of my tummy and I haven’t had any cramping since Monday. I did a test on Tuesday the 15th august (so 2 days after my period was due) and it is a faint positive - pictures attached! I had done another test yesterday but this was negative so I just assumed this was due to me not having enough HCG in my system at that time, especially if I am really really early. This morning at around 11am I noticed brown discharge as I was wiping and strange pains again at the bottom of my tummy so I am currently wearing a pad in my pants now. I cannot imagine that this is a late period because I am having absolutely no cramping and my blood is brown which whenever I start my period it’s always bright red/pink. I spoke with 111 on the phone and they advised that I sound like I am more pregnant than anything else especially with my symptoms but I need to keep an eye on this bleeding and pain over the next 24 hours. Has anybody else had this? I need some reassurance as I definitely feel pregnant and all of my symptoms (tiredness, nausea, fatigue, hot flushes, loss of appetite, bloating, belly pains) all seem to be in the right direction of a pregnancy but I have only had one good but faint positive test. I’ll keep an eye on the bleeding but any advice would be great!

It could be implantation bleeding. I had this and thought my period was starting at 4 days late however after a weekend away I tested a whole week after my period was due and it was a very BFP. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant 😊
