what to expect pp af? implantation bleeding?

Hey all, some of you may know my situation other may not so here's some info:
I am 25 yrs old mother of one.  My dd will be ONE may 21st :)
we have exclusively breastfeed until 7months we introduced solids, she is now eating 3 meals a day 2 snacks and bf around 5X a day ( one night feeding)  
I have been waiting for my first pp af to show up to give us a sign we could conceive a sibling for my dd.  I noticed Saturday (24th) I had blood in my panties.  I was excited but bummed at the same time.  I was hoping to catch the first egg so i wouldn't have to see af :P LOL the only thing is it was a brownish color like old blood.  and not very much.  I used a pantyliner the rest of the day and NOTHING.  still nothing.  I don't nkow what to think of it?  ALso, my daughter has been so restless i offer her her bedtime feeding and she doesn't want anythign to do with me.  I figured maybe becuase i thought i was starting my period.  My breast seem like they have DEFLATED!!!! i i don't know if my supply is drying up now or what :S  i continue to nurse when she demands and now the last 12 hurs shes been just clingy and has fed probably 5 times!!!!!!!!!! ugh i don't know what to think of all this does anyone have any experiances with this? advice is much needed and what are the chances i could be preg and it could be implantation bleeding?  I am so hopeful because i've wanted to give her a sibling and now the past week i've come to grips with "this is my life and i'm perfectly happy where we are at!!!" and thats exactly how it happend last time i was content with life and BAM prego!!!!! who knows and would it be too early to test if i just had a few spots on saturday?  I don't know what to expect from the first PP af, could this be it?  thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond= i'm so excited but confussed i'd like to rush out and buy a test but i'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up!!!!!

THank you KylesMom, much appreciated, even if someone doesn't have the "answer" it's nice to get feedback regaurdless.  I took a hpt this morning (just couldn't wait) and got a bfn, was expecting that.  I figured either way it's too early to test and if af is going to show then i should give it a little more time.  It's just so hard to know whats going on some days. thanks for responding :D i

I never dealt with implantation bleeding so I am not much help there, but I have read that it is probably too early to test right now if it were implantation.  I was always told that implantation bleeding can happen a few days after conception and that the best time to test is about 12 days post ovulation.  Also, my milk supply does flucuate around the time that af is coming.  I am not sure if it is just the shift in hormones or what causes it, but it always bounces back.  Sorry if this isn't too much help, but i hope you get the BFP you are looking for!!  Good luck and keep us posted!
