Overview
The Quick Start of Highly Effective Contraception study looks at the failure rates of contraception in instances of unprotected sex 5-14 days before initiating highly effective reversible contraceptives like IUDs and implants. The current high sensitive urine testing can effectively test for pregnancy that occurred over 14 days before seeking emergency contraceptives but this study is looking at the days before then, specifically before IUD placement. Women who go in for an IUD who have had unprotected sex 7-14 days prior are usually instructed to use another less effective contraceptive device before returning two weeks later for the IUD. The goal is to remove the barrier to emergency placement of a copper IUD and simplify the guidance regarding same day IUDs.
Study Information
This is an observational trial of an estimated 1030 participants where women who have had sex 5-14 days before requesting an IUD or emergency contraceptive are monitored to determine rates of failure. The study will measure outcomes of pregnancy rates and contraceptive continuation among women who have a negative pregnancy test.
Inclusion Criteria
- Women ages 15-45
- Request injectable, subdermal, or intrauterine contraception 6-14 days after having unprotected intercourse
