id="LM622.Summary_of_Use_during_Lactation"><h3>Summary of Use during Lactation</h3><p>Etonogestrel is available in the United States in a combination contraceptive vaginal ring (NuvaRing) that releases 120 mcg of etonogestrel and 15 mcg of ethinyl estradiol daily, and subcutaneous implants (Implanon, Nexplanon) that release etonogestrel at a decreasing rate over a 3-year period.</p><p>Based on the available evidence, expert opinion in the United States holds that postpartum women who are breastfeeding should not use combined hormonal contraceptives (e.g., NuvaRing) during the first 3 weeks after delivery because of concerns about increased risk for venous thromboembolism and generally should not use combined hormonal contraceptives during the fourth week postpartum because of concerns about potential effects on breastfeeding performance. Postpartum breastfeeding women with other risk factors for venous thromboembolism generally should not use combined hormonal contraceptives until 6 weeks after delivery.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.1" rid="LM622.REF.1">1</a>] World Health Organization guidelines are more restrictive, stating that combined oral contraceptives should not be used in nursing mothers before 42 days postpartum and the disadvantages of using the method generally outweigh the advantages between 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.2" rid="LM622.REF.2">2</a>] A decrease in milk supply can happen over the first few days of estrogen exposure.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.3" rid="LM622.REF.3">3</a>]</p><p>Expert opinion holds that the risks of progestin-only contraceptive products usually are acceptable for nursing mothers at any time postpartum.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.2" rid="LM622.REF.2">2</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.4" rid="LM622.REF.4">4</a>] A review of published data concluded that the etonogestrel implant appears to have a risk of lactation suppression of about 0.9%.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.5" rid="LM622.REF.5">5</a>] Low quality evidence indicates that there may be no difference in breastfeeding rates at 6 months between immediate and delayed insertion of progestin-releasing IUDs.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.6" rid="LM622.REF.6">6</a>] Some preliminary evidence indicates that secretory activation (lactogenesis II) might be delayed by the etonogestrel implant. However, other studies found no difference between immediate and delayed insertion of an etonogestrel implant.</p></div><div id="LM622.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i> Forty-two women had an etonogestrel subcutaneous implant inserted implant inserted between 28 and 56 days postpartum. Breastmilk samples were obtained at 1, 2 and 4 months after insertion. The average breastmilk concentration of etonogestrel was 178 ng/L at 1 month (n = 41), 153 ng/L at 2 months (n = 38), and 131 ng/L at 4 months (n = 38) after insertion. The authors calculated that the infants would receive an average of 19.9 ng/kg daily at 1 month, 15.1 ng/kg daily at 2 months and 10.5 ng/kg daily at 4 months after insertion. The decreasing doses were caused by both a reduced quantity in milk and a lower breastmilk intake as time passed.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM622.REF.7" rid="LM622.REF.7">7</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM622.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Forty-two women had an etonogestrel subcutaneous implant (Implanon) inserted between 28 and 56 days postpartum.

Milk intake was measured using deuterium oxide given to the mother and measured in the infants' saliva as well as numbers of wet diapers per day.

Five weeks later, the mother had transitioned completely to formula feeding. The authors requested reports on etonogestrel from the FDA and found a similar case of loss of milk supply.
