Immediate Postpartum Contraceptive Implant Placement & Breastfeeding

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators goal is to measure the impact of timing of postpartum contraceptive implant insertion on breastfeeding success and duration and to explore women's experiences with and attitudes towards contraceptive and breastfeeding counseling in the peripartum time period

Clinical Trial Description

Immediate postpartum initiation of the etonogestrel contraceptive implant has been proven to decrease rates of rapid, repeat pregnancies. Evidence supports that in healthy women with term infants initiation of the contraceptive implant 1-3 days postpartum does not appear to have any adverse effects on lactogenesis or breastfeeding continuation. However, no high quality study to date has examined the effects of progestin-only contraception in women known to be at risk for low milk supply, including women with a premature delivery, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome, diabetes, or a prior history of low milk supply. The investigators goal is to measure the impact of timing of postpartum contraceptive implant insertion on breastfeeding success and duration. This will be a three-armed randomized non-inferiority study of women who plan to breastfeed, have known risk factors for low milk supply, and who intend to use the contraceptive implant postpartum. Women will be randomized to one of three groups for the timing of contraceptive implant placement: within 30 minutes of placental delivery, 24-72 hours postpartum, or 6 or more weeks postpartum. Women will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months postpartum. Outcomes will include time to Lactogenesis Stage II, duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding, continuation of and satisfaction with the contraceptive implant, and side effects, including bleeding patterns, associated with the implant. Findings from this trial will be used by clinicians, hospital systems, and policy makers working to expand access to immediate postpartum implants while supporting women in meeting their breastfeeding goals. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
