Implanon and bleeding

I'm wondering if you could post his for me, hoping it is allowed as I'm not sure where else to ask. I would rather I didn't have to drive into doctors 30 mins away.

I got bar put in around 9 months ago. Initially spotting for 10 days and nothing since, until last month I swore I was pregnant. Cramps and pain with light pink almost clear blood/discharge etc. Went for bloods and urine tests and nothing. Also had ultrasound as ive had cysts in past. Then today (about a month apart) I had blood when I wiped again and it was a blood colour.

About 2 ish months ago I dropped night feeds but my babe still feeds during day.
So I know I'm not pregnant due to tests and ultrasound 2 weeks ago. But why 8 months after having no bleeding do I get bleeding as if my period is trying to come through (only when I wipe not on undies or liner etc). Does this mean my implanon is no longer effective?

It’s totally normal to have occasional bleeding/spotting and occasional periods with the implanon

Completely normal with implanon, it's very unlikely your cycle will ever be regular whilst you're on it.
Pregnancy symptoms are common too.
You'll get used to it but I think (just from my experience) it does take a good year to really adjust.

I’m 13 weeks pp and had implannon but in at 8weeks pp. my periods haddent returned as I’m breastfeeding, I spotted (same as you only blood when wiping nothing in undies or liner) for 3 days about a week after getting it put in. My babe has also dropped night feeds. Hopping mine don’t come back although I do get the cramping feeling sometimes.
