“…Two recent review papers [19,20] have discussed the following topics of practical importance in POC contraception that have not been sufficiently addressed in previous studies: (a) the necessity of a stringent regimen of daily medication to maintain POC efficacy, (b) the problems of using a contraceptive method requiring high compliance in low-fecundity (postpartum/lactating) women, (c) the effects of client counseling on improving compliance, (d) long-term safety considerations, and (e) the noncontraceptive benefits of POC use.…”

Among the limited number of reports on progestin-oral contraceptives (POCs), noncomparative studies conducted at family planning clinics have been the most often reported. This research trend will probably continue. Generally, noncomparative studies address a number of practical issues on POC use, and such studies have made important contributions to the understanding of this contraceptive modality. However, some studies have presented results that are either difficult to extrapolate for potential users or conflict with other findings. This article reviews several studies and suggests ways to improve the study methodology. Well-conceived, -executed, and -analyzed noncomparative studies can cost-effectively address a number of practical issues of POC use that have not been adequately addressed. Additional topics with programmatic utility, such as the effect of local background variables on POC acceptability, and the place of POCs in the ever-increasing contraceptive spectrum, are also discussed.

“…Progestin‐only pills may have reduced effectiveness compared to their combination oestrogen–progestin counterparts [58], but these pills are still popular in the early postpartum period because they are not thought to alter milk supply [58]. In addition, progestin‐only pills are thought to have less effects on blood pressure and coagulation risk [58]. However, the use of a progestin‐only pill in combination with breastfeeding increased risk of conversion to type 2 diabetes among Latinas with histories of GDM [53].…”

Guidelines for management of women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the postpregnancy period have lagged behind the recognition that this is an important time for medical intervention. However, in the past decade, the evidence-base for screening algorithms, contraceptive management, diabetes prevention strategies and implications for offspring has expanded. In this review, we discuss current recommendations for managing women with GDM in the postnatal period, with particular attention to postpartum diabetes screening, prevention of future glucose intolerance and family planning.
