Contraceptive implant

I recently had the Contraceptive implant fitted on the 05/06 to stop my periods and for extra protection when having sex. However, at the moment I have been having lighter but darker discharge/blood, honestly I’m not sure, and I was wondering if anyone would know why this could be? Could it be old blood? As I was told that it was unlikely I’d have periods with implant and I can’t seem to find any answers online which do not include also being pregnant/ breastfeeding~ thanks

    Hey, I was on the implant and periods and things like that are diffinetly confusing but that dark blood is discharge it should be a brown colour and you will get that it's normal that replaces the periods but on the odd occasions you probably will get them but not at often as before you got the implant the discharge (dark blood) can smell but not to worry nobody can smell it butt to satisfy you get pads that have a slight scent to it and you won't smell it yourself at all just to put you at ease but don't worry about it at all x
