Randomized Controlled Trial of Early Versus Standard Postpartum Insertion of the Levonorgestrel IUD to Assess Breast Feeding Outcomes (BLIS - Breastfeeding Levonorgestrel IUD Study)

University of Utah·interventional·Posted Nov 21, 2013·Updated Jun 14, 2017

In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Levonorgestrel IUD for Contraception. Completed, enrolled 285 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

We are studying the effect of placing the levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena) immediately after birth on breastfeeding. Women who wish to have a levonorgestrel IUD placed after their birth, wish to breastfeed, and are willing to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to either get the IUD placed immediately after delivery of the baby and placenta or 4-6 weeks later. We do not believe there will be a difference in breastfeeding 8 weeks after delivery between those who get the IUD placed early or later.
