Use of contraceptive implants at 12 months in women who intended to undergo immediate versus delayed postpartum insertion following high-risk pregnancy.

Intention to undergo implant insertion during the immediate postpartum period appears to improve the utilization of highly effective contraception. Patients who underwent immediate implantation experienced more spotting, prolonged bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. This study supports the recommendation to provide immediate postpartum contraceptive implants to women following high-risk pregnancies.
