Can Jadelle be inserted at any time?
To make sure the woman is not pregnant, Jadelle rods should be inserted within seven days after the onset of menstrual bleeding or immediately following an abortion. If Jadelle implants are inserted at any other time in the menstrual cycle, the possibility of a preexisting pregnancy must be ruled out and a nonhormonal contraceptive method (such as condoms, spermicides, or diaphragms) must be used for at least seven days following insertion to avoid pregnancy. If ovulation and conception have already occurred before Jadelle is inserted, pregnancy could occur during the month following insertion.
