RESUMEN
PIP: 433 patients were selected by social workers for postpartum insertion of Lippes Loop. Of these only 261, or 60.27%, were available for followup 10 months after insertion. At that time, 177 patients, or 67.81%, were still wearing the IUD and were satisfied with it. 19, or 7.2%, expelled it, and 40, or 15.32% had it removed for different reasons, such as bleeding or pain. 11 patients asked for definitive contraception, and 14, or 5.36%, became pregnant with the device in situ, a percentage certainly higher than that of 1.9% reported by other authors.^ieng

PIP: 75 women of proven fertility were treated as a contraceptive measure with an injection of 75 mg. of duhydroxyprogesterone acetophenide, and of 5 mg. of estradiol enanthate. Doses were half of what regularly used, and were injected between the 7th and the 9th day of the cycle. Total number of cycles studied was 859. Most important side effects of the treatment was headache in 28.3% of patients, spotting in 15.5%, and emotional instability in 10.5%. Metabolic and hematologic data were unchanged, and vaginal cytology was negative. There were no pregnancies. It must be remembered that, in every contraceptive treatment, lower doses are always preferable when equally effective. (Summary in ENG).^ieng
