Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
It is all normal. When there is shedding of the endometrium layer of the uterus in monthly periods, sometimes there comes in the fresh blood looking bright red to you on July 1st. It is actually the newly shed vessels and tissue.
If there is some time elapsed in shedding away of the uterine blood vessels and the actual coming out of the blood through vagina, it looks brown to pink colored spotting.
So blood changes its color from bright red-pink-brown and if stay for longer time, it may turn to black color.
I don't think you have any issues of medical concerns. No need to worry. It's all normal. If you feel fever, excessive cramps, or other symptoms, then there is a need to consult a gynecologist.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. If satisfied, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
Regards!

So could not be implantion bleeding
Brief Answer:
Yes it may be an implantation bleed too.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you again with a follow up query!
You didn't mention in your history whether you are sexually active or not. If you are sexually active, Yes, it may be an implantation bleeding and is usually happens after 6-12 days of implantation of the fetus. Moms usually take it as their regular periods but they are actually a sign of an early pregnancy. I advise you to get Urine hCG levels tested in a laboratory to confirm pregnancy.
When to be concerned? As aforementioned in previous answer, if you have pains cramps and fever or other symptoms, go and get yourself checked by an obstetrician. She will do some blood work and an ultrasound and will rule out ectopic pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, miscarriage, or vaginal lesions.
