Slight spotting at 4 weeks pregnant

I got my BFP last Thursday after 3 years of ttc our 2nd. My tests have been darkening really nicely, with very faint lines on Thursday, to very strong lines today (not quite dye stealers yet, but I'm only 15/16dpo). Yesterday I went to the toilet and noticed that my panty liner had a smidge of pink/brown discharge on, my mind immediately went to worst case scenario but I haven't actually had anything since and it's been over 24 hours. Has anyone else experienced this so early on? I wouldn't even go as far as to call it spotting as it was literally a smidge in my panty liner and absolutely nothing when I wiped. Naturally though, I'm feeling really anxious!

Apparently implantation bleeding can happen right through the first trimester as the embryo gets comfy in the uterus lining and the placenta starts to form. If it's only a tiny bit please try not to worry, although I know that's easier said than done!

Thank you for the reassurance!

Funnily enough, I actually bled (quite a lot) in my first pregnancy but that didn't start until the second trimester so I've never experienced it so early. It happened right around the time my period would've been due, if that makes any difference?! Hopefully just implantation like you say as it's been a whole day and a half since and nothing else!

I had this last week. Was bang on when my period was due, I found out I was pregnant at just over 3 weeks and it stopped after 5 days. I had a proper bleed followed by spotting. Tests are very much positive and I’m having an early scan next week all being well x

Just updating this for anyone who comes across it, unfortunately a week after I posted this I started spotting a bit more and blood tests confirmed my HCG is decreasing. Hoping for 'just' a miscarriage at this point as unfortunately, given my slow decrease in HCG levels, and my history of tubal adhesions and scarring, I'm not out of the woods re an ectopic
