What's the difference?

Ok, so it's been a long time since I've gotten pregnant & I never noticed any implantation bleeding with any of those. (One was full term, 3 miscarriages.) Anyways, I'm currently late by almost a 1-2 weeks. This morning I woke up & had very light spotting, light pinkish brown. It lasted about half the day & then nothing else. Still a bfn on the pregnancy test today though. My question is, what's the difference between implantation bleeding & pre period spotting?
