Hi!
If you are on Implanon, there can be withdrawal bleeds and even missed periods. So, menstrual irregularities do occur. However, if this has happened for the first time, please do a pregnancy test and see. Also, check and see whether you need to change it. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
