Implantation bleed: Implantation bleeding is much more common on the internet than in real life. It occurs rarely and exclusively in someone who is pregnant. The only way to know if someone had implantation bleeding or just irregular menstrual bleeding is to wait and see if you are pregnant. If your test is positive then this was implantation bleeding. If it is negative then it is just irregular menstrual bleeding.

Implantion: usually doesn't cause bleeding. When bleeding does occur the amount is tiny.

Bleeding: This does not have to be abnormal but if the bleeding continues more than 14d, then see your gynecologist.

Call your doctor: This may just be a heavy period, but it sounds like you are concerned. A phone call to your obstetrician is in order.
