Comparison of Norethindrone-Containing OCPs to Desogestrel OCPs and Depro-Provera in Women

Abstract

This prospective, longitudinal study examined contraceptive outcomes among active-duty military and civilian women who receive one of three different methods of contraception (Depo-Provera, Ortho-Novum 1/35 and Ortho-Cept). Outcomes examined included method continuation, satisfaction, dysmenorrhea, menstrual bleeding, pregnancy rates, bone density and plasma lipids. This final summary report details the specific activities that have occurred during Year 5 (September 23, 2000 to September 22, 2001). All major objectives were completed during year five. Twenty four month visits have been completed on all subjects. Data analysis has been completed. One paper has been published in the prestigious Ob/Gyn journal, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and two others are in preparation as this project comes to a close.
