Contraceptive: Congratulations on having a contraceptive implant - one of the most effective forms of contraception available. As you know, it is a way of releasing tiny amounts of hormones which interfere with your normal menstrual cycle. Breakthrough bleeding does occur. If this is new, you will want to let your doctor know. Bring plenty of supplies and remember to use condoms to reduce the risk of STDs.
