Early vs. Interval Postpartum IUD Insertion: A Multi-site Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating IUD for Contraception. Completed, enrolled 404 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are historically placed at a six-week postpartum visit for women who desire intrauterine contraception after delivery. A two-week postpartum visit could be a convenient time for women to receive contraception, including IUDs. Offering women IUDs at two-weeks postpartum may decrease the risk of undesired pregnancy and rapid repeat pregnancy. This study will compare IUD insertion at two different times after delivery: two-weeks and six-weeks postpartum. This will allow researchers to assess whether the timing of IUD placement affects whether an IUD is expelled, or pushed out of it's ideal location.
