Summary
This study tests two progestin-only birth control pills—drospirenone and norethindrone—to see which one helps control high blood pressure after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. Fifty women will take one of the pills daily for six weeks after leaving the hospital. The goal is to see if either pill leads to better blood pressure readings and fewer extra doctor visits.
