Postpartum patients experience a 60-fold increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We present a postpartum patient with severe pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and a recent Cesarean delivery, who was diagnosed with a VTE hours after a Nexplanon insertion on venous duplex ultrasound. She was started on anticoagulation, had the Nexplanon removed, and recovered well. This case highlights the importance of clinical suspicion for VTE in the postpartum period, presenting a postpartum VTE coinciding with a subdermal implant placement.
