hi,
thank you for your query.
what you are experiencing are the side effects of implanon

Implanon is associated with an unpredictable bleeding pattern, which may range from amenorrhoea and infrequent, frequent, to prolonged bleeding. The bleeding pattern experienced during the first three months is broadly predictive of future bleeding patterns.

in most cases the initial irregularities or disturbances in the menstrual cycles are regularised within three weeks of usage.

i would advise you to just monitor your bleeding and take rest.the symptoms will subside on their own.removal is required only in severe cases of bleeding.

thank you,
wishing you good health
