Brown discharge TMI

Shaela
Today AF was due and I was wearing a pad just incase she showed. Instead I noticed this dark brown discharge in larger quanity then I've ever had before. I've only ever gotten it towards then end of my periods. I'm not bleeding but I'm having cramping. Google has said its either old implantation bleeding or I'm having a miscarriage. Has anyone had this before and what was your out come?
