Brief Summary  

With the help of Random allocation software 2.0, recruited patients will be allocated into 2 groups. Women in reproductive age group (18-45 years) attending family planning clinic in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lok Nayak Hospital, willing to use injection DMPA and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited in the study. After obtaining an informed consent, a detailed demographic, menstrual, obstetrical, past medical and surgical history will be taken. General physical and local examination will be done. Detailed contact information will be taken for further follow up.

Group 1 will be receiving subcutaneous and Group 2 will be receiving intramuscular DMPA injection.

Subcutaneous DMPA is given in the back of the upper arm, in the abdomen (but not at the navel) and on the front of the thigh. It is given through Uniject prefilled injection system. The dose is 104 mg in 0.65 ml of injectable suspension.

Intramuscular DMPA is given deep into the hip (ventrogluteal muscle), the upper arm (deltoid muscle), or the buttocks (upper outer portion of gluteal muscle), whichever the women prefers. It is given through a 2 ml syringe and 21-23 gauge intramuscular needle after loading the dose through glass vial. The dose is 150 mg in 1 ml of aqueous solution as a single dose.

 Next injection appointment date will be noted for each enrolled patients for follow up.

The women will be followed up for second injection and will perform detailed follow up surveys at the second injection or upon discontinuation. History will be taken at next 3 monthly visit of the patient regarding any side-effects (Weight gain, headache, breast tenderness, prolonged and heavy bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, spotting, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea), whether willing to continue the contraceptive injection, any unexpected pregnancy (contraceptive failure), reason for discontinuation of subcutaneous vs intramuscular DMPA injection.

They will be contacted at baseline and after 3 months to know if there are any practical barriers to continuation.

Outcomes will be measured as

(1)User acceptability and continuation rates

(2)Side effects

Relevant statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS-25 version
