Brief Answer:
Spotting can be common on first 3 months after removing it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
If you remove the implant you are likely to have sporting for up to 3 months.
The risk of getting pregnant exists from the moment you remove implant.
You can do a pregnancy test since you have removed implant and have not started yet another protection method.
Do a pregnancy blood test and you can start another contraception method if you don't want to get pregnant
