Birth Control Implant: Insert Right After Delivery or Wait
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares when to insert a small birth control implant called Implanon-NXT—either right after you deliver your baby or a few weeks later. Researchers want to see which timing is safer and works better for women.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You delivered your baby vaginally or by caesarean section at 37 weeks or later
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You want to use the Implanon-NXT implant (a matchstick-sized rod placed under your arm) for birth control
- You did not have heavy bleeding after delivery that required medication
- You do not have an active infection (such as chorioamnionitis or sepsis) at the time of implant insertion
- You are not allergic to etonogestrel (the hormone in the implant) or any implant materials
