No: It sounds like a normal period. When you're on long term birth control like implinad or depo you can have irregular periods. Do not worry you should reset to normal within one to two cycles.

A 26-year-old female asked:
I have very light periods; basically spotting for 2 days. Is this normal at 26 or should I see doctor? No birth control currently (implanon removed 1yr ago). Only other symptom during the "period" is that I'm a lot more emotional than usual.
