Hi.

I have gone through your query.

Implanon contains hormones and this can cause hormone fluctuation. This can cause some spotting, uterine contractions which can cause some bleeding or spotting.

Along with this, alcohol may also contribute to some spotting as there may be increased uterine contractions in some people.

In case the bleeding persists, please see a doctor who can help you with the best medication or change the contraception to help you reduce the spotting.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni
