Detailed Answer:

Hello,

As an answer to your specific question, regular running/jogging is a good way to expel old blood . However there seems to be bleeding due to insertion of Implanon which is an estrogen only implant. If some combination of estrogen and progesterone is used, then there will be lesser chance of such bleeding.
