[Postpartum contraception: effect of lynestrenol during the lactation period (author's transl)]. 1977

L Mettler, and M Müller, and F W Dittmar, and K Semm

167 women were treated with 0.5 mg lynestrenol/day for a period of 8-32 weeks immediately postpartum. The lactation periods of 67 of the women were observed during the stay in hospital (maximum 7 days) in comparison with a control group (n = 20) of untreated women in the puerperium. There was no quantitative difference in milk production between the lynestrenol-treated women and the control group. In order to exclude a possible thromboembolic effect the lynestrenol the thrombocyte aggregation was determined in all women at 4-weekly intervals as a measure of a thrombotic tendency. During the entire period of the investigation the mean PAT rating remained between I and II. Among the clinical parameters a raised amenorrhea rate of 21% and a larger proportion (39%) of breakthrough bleedings were notable. The responded easily to treatment.
