Summary: In this prospective observational study, the effect of timing of insertion (early/late follicular; early/late luteal) on ovarian cyst development in women receiving an LNG-IUD will be assessed ultrasonographically at months 0, 3, 6, and 12. Secondary outcomes include cyst size/structure, bleeding pattern, pain, and other adverse events.

Objectives: We will investigate if the body's ability to handle glucose differs between these groups. We will also explore if these differences are linked to the levels of primary sex hormones in females, estrogen and progesterone, and if the synthetic versions produced by hormonal birth control have the same negative effect. We will use an oral glucose tolerance test to investigate these potential difference...

Summary: Unintended pregnancy is common among women of fertile age, and also among those who have recently given birth. A Swedish study has shown that about 7.7% experience a new pregnancy, and that 2.5% will have an abortion between 12-24 months from childbirth.

Summary: The investigators hypothesize that combined treatment with the GLP-1R agonist semaglutide 2.4 mg and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), compared to LNG-IUD alone, will result in improved likelihood of uterine preservation, sustained weight loss, improved endometrial and metabolomic response to progestin, and improved quality of life in premenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia wh...

Summary: This prospective, open label, double arm, feasibility group study will recruit participants planning to undergo office intrauterine device (IUD) placement without sedation or anxiolysis at the Center for Women's Health. Participants will self-administer a topical anesthetic using a contraceptive cervical cap or menstrual disc. Twenty-four nulliparous women will be recruited to receive one of two a...

Summary: The aim of this study is to determine if 3ml of inhaled Methoxyflurane, in the form of a Penthrox inhaler, reduces pain during IUD insertion and/or endometrial biopsy. The proposed study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT. Each participant will be randomly assigned to one of two arms: 1. Intervention (3ml of Methoxyflurane via a Penthrox inhaler) 2. Placebo (3ml of normal saline via an iden...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of topical benzocaine prior to the injection of lidocaine is effective in decreasing pain experienced during IUD insertion in patients 18 or older. The main question it aims to answer is: Does topical use of benzocaine prior to lidocaine injection during IUD insertion effectively decrease pain experienced? Researchers will compare benzocaine/lidoc...
