Abstract
The assessment of reversibility of a contraceptive method is of importance to both providers and users. Ninety-one women who discontinued IUD use because of desire of pregnancy were followed up for pregnancy and its outcome. Cumulative pregnancy rates at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months after IUD removal were 61.5%, 87.9%, 92.3%, and 96.7%, respectively. Mean interval from IUD removal to conception was 4.4 months (range, 1-18 months). These findings add further evidence that fertility of women is not impaired by use of IUDs as a spacing method.Entities:
