Summary
Because of misoprostol's known ability to cause cervical dilation, some family planning
providers give their patients a dose of this drug prior to insertion. The goal of this study
is to evaluate whether misoprostol prior to IUD insertion in nulliparous women eases
insertion and decreases pain.
