When to place the birth control implant after childbirth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares placing a small birth control implant right after giving birth versus waiting a few weeks. The implant is a tiny rod placed under the skin that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years. The goal is to see which timing works better and is safer for women.
