Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare success rates of two removal techniques for intrauterine devices (IUDs) that have missing or non-visible strings. The investigators will also collect preliminary data to better understand patient and provider satisfaction, maximum pain score, procedure time, and complications with the two techniques. Participants will be randomized to IUD removal with either an alligator forceps or manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) technique. This study will provide important data on these removal techniques, which could possibly expand options for and access to no strings IUD removals.
