Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the expulsion and continuation rate of an intruterine device (IUD) placed immediately after medical abortion.

Our hypothesis is that immediate-placement of an IUD after completed medical abortion will have a similar expulsion and continuation rate to traditional placement (4-6 weeks after pregnancy).

Conditions

  • Intrauterine Device Expulsion
  • Medical Abortion
  • Induced Abortion

Interventions

DEVICE

IUD insertion [Copper T-380A or Levonorgestrel (intrauterine system) IUS]

When a subject has chosen a method of intra-uterine contraception and has agreed to participate in the study, she will have the intra-uterine device of her choice inserted according to the Food and Druga Administration (FDA) instructions.
