Implantation bleeding or hormonal imbalance?

I started spotting a week before AF is due. I read this can either be implantation bleeding or (Glow tells me) an infection, hormonal imbalance,  or "other" cause. How can you tell the difference? It's just spotting. Started off red. Turned brown and lasted 3 days so far.
