Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: UltrasoundExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For participants randomly assigned to ultrasound use, a bedside ultrasound will be performed using the trans-abdominal probe during and/or immediately after placement of the IUD. The distance from the IUD arms to the fundus will be measured with the ultrasound, and the IUD will be defined as being "in place" when the distance from the top of the IUD to the fundus is measured to be 3mm or less. If the distance is greater than 4mm, the provider may reposition the IUD manually or with a ring forceps.
Group II: No ultrasoundActive Control1 Intervention
For participants randomly assigned to no ultrasound use, provider will insert the IUD with a ring forceps and will use palpation of the fundus to determine whether or not the IUD is likely in place.
