Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive that contains high doses of progestin. Each dose prevents pregnancy for up to 3 months, but women must be compliant in returning to the healthcare facility for follow-up and repeat doses every 9 to 13 weeks. The Ortho Evra patch is a -inch square that slowly releases estrogen and progestin through the skin and into the bloodstream. The vaginal ring (NuvaRing) contraceptive device is made of flexible plastic and is inserted into the vagina. The ring slowly releases estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy and provide effective contraceptive action for 1 month after insertion. The Implanon and Nexplanon implants are single, flexible rods about the size of a match that are inserted under the skin of the upper arm. The birth control implant releases a low, steady dose of progestin, which suppresses ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to block the passage of sperm, and thins the endometrial wall to prevent implantation.
