Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Implanon can present with side effects like menstrual irregularities.
Intermenstrual spotting, amenorrhea etc. are some of them.
As you didn't have periods since 6 months, it is difficult to guess the possibility of ovulation.
Though the chance of pregnancy is low, you can once go for the pregnancy test to find out the possibility as implanon is having some amount of failure rate.
If the test comes comes negative no need to worry.
And if the intermenstrual spotting increases or continues you may need additional dose of hormones to regularize the cycles.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
