Implant and the pill together

Hey there, I have the implant, after continuous periods the doctor gave me the progesterone only pill to take on top. Perfect, no more bleeding! But another doc said that after 6 months of this, everything should have settled so to stop the pill. 2 months into not taking it, and now I'm getting a period every other 5 days again! Is it ok to carry on taking the progesterone only pill with the implant indefinitely? Thankyou!

I had the same problem and my Dr said it would be best to have it removed and use another kind of contraception.
