| Abstract: | The article studies the concentration of copper in the cervical mucus of users and nonusers of copper IUDs. Of the 170 samples taken 90 were basal, i.e. taken from nonusers, and 80 were taken from users of No-Gravid, Dalkon Shield, Gravigard, Copper T, and Progestasert. Concentration of copper was much higher in IUD wearers than in nonwearers, even after 2 years from insertion, except in wearers of Dalkon Shield and of Progestasert. Copper concentration in wearers of Gravigard and Copper T were lower than concentrations found in wearers of No-Gravid. |
