Heavy bleeding on the implant, what should I do?

So I've had my implant since the 28th of May this year, and I woke up this morning to heavy bleeding that I'd normally have during my period.

I kind of panicked when it happened but I'm unsure on if that's normal or not like is it my body regulating itself? Has anyone else had a similar sort of experience and can give me any information?

Any information and advice will be much appreciated, thanks!

    Within 2-3 months after implant placement, bleeding may increase with menstruation. After this period, everything is standardized.
