NCT ID NCT03978598
First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study looked at whether placing the etonogestrel implant (Nexplanon) within 24 hours of giving birth affects breastfeeding compared to waiting 4-6 weeks. 150 women who wanted the implant and planned to breastfeed were randomly assigned to one of the two timing groups. The main goal was to see if breastfeeding continued at 8 weeks after delivery, and researchers expected no difference between the groups.
