Hi,
Thanks for your query,
These seems to be the common harmone withdrawl symptoms. Apart from it other symptoms which can occur after harmone withdrawl are bloating in abdomen, PMS etc. Irregular periods and amenorrhoea are common side effects with implanon implant. I will suggest you to go for a pregnancy test just for extra precaution and then proceed ahead with new implanon if you want.
Take care and best of luck..
Hope it helps..
