“…The primary effect of different types of IUDs is to prevent fertilization by inducing an inflammatory response that disrupts the uterine environment (7,8). Lippes loops are non-medicated IUDs that are costeffective, easy to install, and do not need to be replaced regularly (2,3,6).…”

Intrauterine devices (IUDs), a form of long-acting reversible fertility control, are often preferred for preventing pregnancy. The Lippes loops, made of plastic, are inserted into the uterus via the cervix, fitting into the uterine cavity. The non-medicated (inert) structure of the loop allows for long-term IUD use. Uterine perforation and translocation of the IUD are the most threatening complications. In this case report, we present an asymptomatic 79-year-old woman with a forgotten IUD that migrated into the abdominal cavity and was discovered during her follow-up for lung cancer.

“…The device is a T-shaped plastic frame that is inserted into the uterus, where it releases progestin. The duration of use can vary from three to seven years (Friedman and Oluronbi, 2019). All IUDs tend to decrease menstruation and are most likely to lead to long-term amenorrhea (Festin, 2020).…”

There are estimated to be more than 1.6 million transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals ages 13 and up in the United States. Many individuals who identify as trans or gender-expansive never received adequate contraceptive counseling. Certified Nurse Midwives play a crucial role in primary reproductive health care in many settings, particularly underserved settings. A patient's wants, needs, and goals should be discussed before choosing a contraceptive option. Several contraceptive options for transmasculine, transfeminine and non-binary populations are available. The same contraceptive options available for cisgender females should be available to transmasculine individuals. The same contraceptive options for cisgender males should be available to transfeminine individuals. Contraceptive options should not be dismissed based on a person's gender. Population-specific contraceptive recommendations are provided. Throughout the article, there are recommendations on approaches to help inclusivity and reduce barriers for non-cisgender persons. A modified algorithm to aid in contraceptive counseling for all persons is presented. Several innovative contraceptive methods are being developed that focus on fertile persons with testicles. Providing accurate, compassionate, and individual contraceptive counseling to all persons can help reduce barriers and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
