Answer 1

Yes it could very well have been implantation spotting. During pregnancy your uterus has a lot more vasculature (More blood going to it to oxygenate and keep it healthy) so it can be very normal to have some spotting after intercourse. Also after an orgasm your uterus will naturally contract. If there is a pregnancy then your uterus is not able to contract back to it's normal size because there is a baby groing in there (which causes the bad cramping). . . .that will usually not last long though (only a few minutes). My advice however would to not use a tampon until you are sure you are not pregnant because it can harbor bacteria which you do not want to go to your uterus.
