Hi thanks for the query.
Irregular bleeding is one of the main side effect of contraceptive implants. As this is your first episode no need to remove the implant. Implant should be changed at its due time. For this bleeding you can use homeostatic. If not controlled with that you may require estrogen supplementation.
Hope this helps.
