Hi, i do care for your concern.
The life span of implanon device is about three years.
however the drug can be used up early due to various reasons such as obesity, other drug usage that leads to greater metabolism.
Your present spotting indicates there is fluctuation in hormonal levels.
I would advise
To consult your gyanec, to confirm the presence of device and its working condition, in the mean time temporary contraceptive methods can be used.
need not panic as this present situation can be reverted back to normal.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
