Relationship Between Etonogestrel Concentrations and Bleeding Patterns in Contraceptive Implant Users.

CONCLUSION: We found both objective and subjective evidence that higher levels of progestin from the contraceptive implant were associated with bleeding side effects experienced by women in this study. Pharmacologic variation may influence the side effects women experience with a variety of hormonal contraceptive methods, in turn affecting patient satisfaction and discontinuation rates.
