  • Title: IUD insertion following spontaneous abortion: a clinical trial of the TCu 220C, Liuppes loop D, and copper 7.
    Journal: Stud Fam Plann; 1983 Apr; 14(4):109-14. PubMed ID: 6351363.
    Abstract:
    6 centers participated in a randomized comparison of the TCu 220C, Lippes Loop D, and Copper 7 intrauterine devices inserted immediately following spontaneous abortion. A total of 1060 insertions were performed with no perforations detected within the 1st 48 hours; only 9 subjects had complaints. At 390 and 750 days the continuation rates of all devices were equal. The expulsion rates were much lower than those with insertion immediately following the delivery of the placenta. There were no ectopic pregnancies reported and the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease was low. It can be concluded that IUD insertion following spontaneous abortion in subjects with no signs of pelvic infection is safe and not associated with uterine perforation or a subsequent increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.
