Hi,
Implanon is a hormone laden contraceptive which is safe while breast feeding, but irregular periods and spotting brown blood is its side effect. It will reduce over the time. You have to follow gentle hygiene but douches should be avoided.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
