| Abstract | Background: Subcutaneous depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) has not been studied in the morbidly obese population. The purpose of this 26-week prospective experimental study is to determine incidence of ovulation and follicular development among obese and morbidly obese women after DMPA-SC.; Methods: Five normal weight, 5 obese, and 3 morbidly obese women received injections of DMPA-SC at baseline and 12 weeks. Weekly progesterone levels (P4), bimonthly estradiol (E2), and monthly medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) levels were measured by immunoassay methods.; Results: After the first week of DMPA-SC, no subject had evidence of ovulation. There was large inter-subject and intra-subject variability in E2 levels. Median MPA levels remained above the contraceptive threshold, but were lower among obese and morbidly obese subjects.; Conclusion: Fluctuating E2 levels reflective of follicular development occurred more often among obese and morbidly obese women after DMPA-SC Injection. Further studies should address the pharmacokinetics of DMPA-SC in morbidly obese women. |
