    Abstract:
    This study presents the clinical evalaution of 52 pregnancies in IUD users. 76.9% were between 17 and 30 years of age, and 61.5% had 2 or less deliveries. 48 of the 52 women wore a Lippes Loop device; the majority of pregnancies had occurred within the 1st 12 months after IUD insertion. In 18 cases the device strings were visible; in 6 of these cases the device was removed by pulling the string; 2 women aborted and 4 delivered at term. There were, in total, 21 spontaneous abortions, or 45.7% of cases, 7 premature deliveries, or 15.2% of cases, and 18 deliveries at term of 39.1% of cases. There were 2 ectopic pregnancies. After delivery only 7 women, or 13.5%, requested insertion of another IUD; 34.6% preferred hormonal contraception, 26.9% chose tubal sterilization, and 25% chose local contraception.
