hi,
Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect, especially in the first 6–12 months of use.
Some women have longer, heavier periods.
Some women have increased spotting and light bleeding between periods.
These side effects are completely normal. Some woman may worry that they are pregnant if they do not have a regular period. But when the implant is used correctly, it is very effective. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can always take a pregnancy test.
just continue with the medication that your doctor has prescribed, the bleeding will stop,
if it continues then you need to go back to your gynecologist to remove it and change the method.
hope to have helped to answer your query
