Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. If you attained regular menstrual cycles after expiry of the implant, the current scenario is suggestive of hormone imbalance/chemical pregnancy. If the menstrual discharge is available for an examination, this would give some idea. A blood test for pregnancy and a trans-vaginal sonogram help to clarify the situation. Polyps, endometrial casts etc., are the other possible causes of the discharge. Hope this helps.
