Randomized trial comparing bleeding patterns after immediate and conventional oral contraceptive initiation
type: CreativeWork
description: Starting oral contraceptives immediately, under direct observation, increase OC initiation rates and may increase effective use and continuation However, if adverse bleeding pattern occur, then such an approach may paradoxically decrease continuation rates. The purpose of this study is comapare 90-day bleeding patterns following immediate ("Quickstart) versus conventional OC initiation.
