Implantation or Period?

Hi mama's! So I am very very curious right now because this has never happened to me.
I know how my body and my periods work when its the time of the month.
So, I just have a few questions and maybe even opinions! Trying to search my questions up on Google is honestly terrifying. It's either, miscarriage, cancer, etc.

So, my last period was ;
June 20th
June 28th - (unprotected sex) Ovulation Day!
July 14th - My next expected period date

My periods always came on time and I always had awful cramping before I had my period and throughout my period.

So , after having sex July 16th, I started to lightly bleed. Spotting. Then it was little brown. But it was very light. I had very mild cramping too but then went away. Haven't had since. So now it is July 20th and I am no longer spotting. And after intercourse I would have a bit more blood than the spotting but it was never heavy. And usually when I am on my period, I am a heavy bleeder. Plus, my period lasts about 6 days.
This spotting lasted 4 days.

And I was told implantation occurs usually a few days after ovulation and or a few days before your missed period.
Its all very confusing. I had even taken a pregnancy test after my missed period and it was negative. Then I took one during this spotting and it was negative. Then I was told I would have to get blood work done a few days after the bleeding and like a week after take a pregnancy test. And I have heard many different stories because I know not everyone is the same but I am just confused and need some opinions and or even stories please!

I also had a miscarriage April 18th of this year. So it's a little nerve racking and I wanna take it easy before I know anything.
But I do have a beautiful and healthy 10 month old. Just because of the recent miscarriage though, I do wanna take it easy if it has anything to do with pregnancy or if I am just overthinking all of this.

I do not know how to edit posts. But my expected period date was July 14th and was supposed to end the 8th. So the length of my periods are actually 4-5 days.

Also! I forgot to add in that my spotting would go on and off. But after intercourse twice during the implantation bleeding, the blood would come back a little darker and a bit more.
