Objectives: Our goal was to measure the impact of postpartum contraceptive implant insertion timing on breastfeeding success and duration in a population at high-risk for low milk supply.

Study Design: We conducted a three-armed randomized non-inferiority study of postpartum people who plan to breastfeed and have known risk factors for low milk supply. Participants were randomized to one of three groups for the timing of implant placement: within 30 minutes of placental delivery, 24-72 hours postpartum, or 6+ weeks postpartum.

We present a case of suspected induced intractable headaches and paralysis after receiving an etonogestrel 68 mg implant. After extensive neurological evaluation, the etonogestrel implant was removed and neurological symptoms resolved. The case raises concerns about a potential rare risk of progestin-containing contraceptives in patients with migraines with aura warranting further investigation.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, 1873 Rama IV Road, Patum Wan, Patum Wan, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand.

Article Synopsis
  • Etonogestrel and levonorgestrel contraceptive implants are effective for 3 and 5 years, respectively, but early removal before due date can lead to unintended pregnancies, particularly among adolescents.
  • A study conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital analyzed early implant discontinuation from 2014 to 2019, finding a 19.3% overall discontinuation rate with intolerance to side effects, like abnormal bleeding, being the main reason for removal.
  • Results indicated that adolescents had a lower likelihood of early discontinuation than adults, with factors such as free implants, continuous use, postpartum status, and having children contributing to reduced discontinuation rates.
