Abstract
An immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception program effectively provides women who desire highly effective reversible contraceptive devices with their method of choice prior to hospital discharge. Immediate postplacental levonorgestrel intrauterine device users have higher expulsion rates than copper intrauterine device users, but >8 of 10 women initiating an intrauterine device or implant continue use at 6 months postpartum.
