GYN evaluation: Sounds like chemical or breakthrough bleeding- you need a pelvic exam and hormonal levels checked.

Normal : You state you've had Implanon for 6 months, now with vaginal bleeding for 2 weeks. I could be a period. However, more commonly, it could be breakthrough bleeding which is a common side effect of Implanon.
