Hi,
Implantation bleeding occurs around the time of the menstrual cycle and is usually a fresh bleeding. As you had a normal period followed by the spotting, it is unlikely to be implantation bleeding. As you have recently come off the pills, hormonal imbalances can happen and your spotting appears like one. Yet, you should get a blood pregnancy test to exclude/confirm pregnancy. A trans-vaginal sonogram at this stage is useful. Please consult a gynecologist for a physical evaluation and further management. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
