Hi,
Implant contraceptive is inbuilt with progesterone hormones is an active I gradient. Irregular type of bleeding is one of its side effect which tends to reduce after some time. But in case it's bothersome, you can go for IUD like Cu T which is without hormones and also does not cause weight gain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
