General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,As far as the FDA update is concerned, implanon is not recalled back. You may want to continue its use.

The changes in your period seem very subtle to come to any conclusion now. Please wait for the next menstrual period and check if the symptoms recur.

Implanon is a very effective contraceptive. Nothing to be concerned about its use.

I hope this helps you. Take care!!
