A Pilot Study of Early Postpartum Intrauterine Contraception
A Pilot Study of Early Postpartum Intrauterine Contraception

This is a prospective clinical trial of ultrasound guided intrauterine contraception insertion 10 minutes - 48 hours after vaginal delivery of single infant. A six month follow-up will entail three follow-up visits; 4-6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.

The objective of this study is to measure intrauterine device (IUD) expulsion and the feasibility of conducting a future clinical trial to evaluate placement of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive 10 minutes - 48 hours postpartum.
