What about the ectopic rate with this one? Does anybody know? I haven't seen any data. Progestin releasing IUD's are thought to at least theoretically increase the ectopic rate due to slowing of tubal motility by the progestin. Has anybodya seen any data?

Personally I am excited about this. I have not used the current progestin IUD because of yearly replacement. I think this will find a place in my practice.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
