Implantation bleeding or period?

Hello wondering if anyone has any advice or has been through anything similar.
My last period ended the 28th of May, then during ovulation I had unprotected sex 5 times. Over the last few days my partner has commented on how much my breasts have gotten bigger (my breasts NEVER change during ovulation or menstruation) and I noticed it myself a few days ago! I've had to pee a lot more than usual over the last week, and I've been slightly on edge (no reason why and not angry or agitated) but still calm and in an overall good mood.
My next period was due on the 24th of this month (June) but this morning I wiped and noticed light pink spotting on the tissue. Throughout the day the spotting has continued but is now a lightish brown colour. I've had some cramping and lower back pain throughout the day but nowhere near as intense as period cramps. I thought this might be implantation bleeding until this afternoon when I went to the toilet, wiped and again light red/pinkish on the tissue but when I stood up to flush there was fresh blood in the toilet. I wiped again but there was no fresh blood and I haven't had any since.
My periods are usually pretty regular and come on the 24th or 25th each month and its normally accompanied by a load of symptoms such as extreme mood swings and emotionless, very painful cramps, fatigue, bloating, breakouts and a loss of appetite. However I haven't had any of these this month.
I know our bodies and cycles change but for 26 years I've always had the same symptoms for at least 7 days before my period and I didn't have implantation bleeding with my first.
Could this be implantation bleeding or just a change to my cycle?

My implantation bleeding was very similar - pink then brown. Although it was very light (just wiping)

My nipples were extremely hard and that was first thing I noticed.
I was also really snappy! Overly angry!

Tested with a good line 10DPO.

fingers crossed for you.
