NET-EN: Injection Schedule

  • Injection every 2 months
  • Can be up to 2 weeks early or late

Slide 40


A woman should receive an injection of NET-EN once every two months (or 60 days).

The window for subsequent injections is up to two weeks early or two weeks late. Thus, the injection schedule is more rigid for NET-EN than for DMPA.

If a woman returns more than two weeks late, she can receive an injection if the provider can be reasonably sure she is not pregnant.
