NCT ID NCT06909695
First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how long-acting birth control (like implants or IUDs) affects iron levels and how women's bodies handle heat, cold, and high altitude. Researchers will compare women using these methods with those on daily birth control pills. The goal is to understand if reduced menstrual bleeding from LARCs helps preserve iron and improve performance in tough conditions.
