Yes: unfortunately this is an expected and frustrating side effect of the progesterone implant.

Sometimes, yes!: Occasionally the implant system will allow breakthrough bleeding to continue beyond a reasonable time frame. If this continues over the next 3 months a change in methods may be helpful.
