Luv My Hubby!

I had my daughter a year ago. I had a Mirena inserted shortly after my 6 week checkup, but before my period returned. Before I got pregnant, my period was heavy and average 5-6 days. While I had the Mirena, obviously it was different due to the hormones.
I recently had the Mirena taken out and my husband and I are TTC again. It was taken out on Aug 26. My doc advised waiting a month before TTC because I had a c-sect and wanted to try for VBAC this time (she felt it best to wait an entire year before conceiving). After it was taken out, I was eager to make sure I was ovulating and used OPKs to determine my LH surge even though we weren't technically "trying." I had a clear positive, everything seemed fine. I even took a couple pregnancy tests early this week to make sure I wasn't pregnant yet.
Period came Wednesday morning. Seemed normal for the first day, then really lessened, to the point that I completely stopped bleeding for an entire day. Now I just have a little brownish discharge when I wipe. COMPLETELY abnormal for me. I don't think it's implantation bleeding. Timing would be right for period. Started temping Thursday. Temps seem to be completely within pre-ovulatory range compared to my charts from last time TTC.
What is going on? Could I possibly be pregnant and having implantation bleeding this late after a positive OPK? I don't want to waste more money on tests if I'm just having a light period (which has never happened before). And IF it is implantation bleeding, when could I test and get a correct result?
