It last a day or two. This is the first time I ve had bleeding in 2.5 years. I m not sure if I should think it is serious or not.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry to about. Its usual not to have periods if you have implant on. Since your using it for 2.5 yrs so your bodies hormonal system is altered. The irregular periods might be due to any drugs you are taking. If you have post coital bleeding then it is alarming otherwise it is not serious.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shajia Zafar
