Postplacental LNG-IUD Ultrasound Use Study
Sponsor: Thomas Jefferson University
Summary
This study will enroll women planning to have an intrauterine device (IUD) placed for contraception immediately following a vaginal delivery. Women will be randomized to have this procedure done with or without ultrasound guidance. We intend to determine if the routine use of ultrasound to confirm device position reduces the rates of IUD expulsion.
