Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the birth control implant.
You may have longer or shorter periods or very light or no menstrual bleeding at all.
You may also have brown discharge (old blood). This discharge is common as your body adjusts to the hormone medicine in the implant, which can take one or more months to stop.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
