Hi, and thanks for your medical question on eHealth forum!

No contraceptive is 100% fool proof and most cause changes in duration and flow of periods. So since there was a change in your periods, take a pregnancy test and see. If it is negative, then the change could be due to hormones of Implanon. Hope this helps. Take care!
