Do monitor that and seek help if it keeps up more than a few days.

It's stopped now, for the mean time at least. Thanks very much for the advice!
EDIT: as a side note, I've read in a few places that spotting can be a side effect of blastocyst implantation? Now I wouldn't call the discharge I had 'spotting' (it was like normal, helathy discharge...but pale brown and smelled strongly), but as it seems to have stopped so quickly... Am I worrying unnecessarily? As far as I can see, it's too early for my to take a pregnancy test (I'm not due to have a period until next week, and our contraception only failed monday), but would it be too early for a blastocyst to have implanted, assuming that my cycle is roughly 26 days, and my last period finished around the 5th August, so I would have ovulated by the 25th?
Sometimes I wish I'd revised for my biology exams a liiiiittle better...
