The Investigators propose to test a novel method for self-removal of IUDs in an effort to increase the proportion of patients who are able to successfully and safely remove their IUD when desired. Participants will attempt self-removal in office, where a provider will be able to remove the IUD if unsuccessful. Participants will be instructed on current and novel techniques and the investigators will examine indicators of success as well as patient and provider preferences.
