Arduous admin requirements + abortion stigma discourage Drs from rx'ing #mifepristone to #miscarriage patients. These obstacles are not insurmountable. Our pep talk in @JAMANetworkOpen on overcoming #REMS for better pregnancy loss care⤵️: doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.35861

Most women's HIV Drs in #Botswana do not discuss birth control. We developed a plan: ♥️Honor pt values/goals. ♥️increase Dr confidence. Results: 96% of pts preferred to discuss BCM @ their HIV-treatment visit. Read more about HIV care ➕Fam Planning:

In an HIV clinic in Botswana, provision of on-site contraceptive services for women encouraged family planning discussions and increased interest in long-acting reversible contraception.

We are just beyond thrilled about the #rhogam update in early pregnancy from @acog in @greenjrnl 🩸🩸🩸 It is an incredible feeling to see a authoritative clinical guidance revised based on our team's hard work (at the helm of @obgdocsarah!) Amazing work!

Spontaneous Abortion is an "all around hated term" when talking about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. @rachelegross of @nytimes dives into 'When ‘Abortion’ Wasn’t a Dirty Word', citing @PennOBGYN Dr. Clement and our study at @PEACEUPenn @PennMedicine
nytimes.com
The medical term once encompassed any form of pregnancy loss, including miscarriage.

Counseling about IUD placement timing should not vary by demographic characteristics of patients...even if a doctor feels that a patient with lower access to care is well-suited to have an IUD placed right after delivery, as opposed to at their 6 week postpartum visit.

Great longitudinal in @greenjrnl from the folks at U of Utah SLC looking at switching and discontinuing contraceptive methods. Patients unhindered by cost barriers are more likely to try different methods, or change methods when goals/priorities change. https://t.co/MA9HTVDijI

Our 2015 pilot found that medication abortion patients were interested and satisfied with starting the depo shot birth control on the same day as their abortion. Important research from @UMNews / @ContraceptionJL will help council MAB patients between #DMPA and #Nexplanon

Pregnancy of Unknown Location is a confusing diagnosis. Black patients are more likely to experience loss to follow up during monitoring for #PUL. We talked to patients to explore what helps people return for a follow-up, and barriers to coming back. https://t.co/6qtWn3XUDY

How do postpartum patients weigh the benefits and drawbacks of getting an IUD right after labor vs at a follow up visit? New study examining preferences and the decision making process will have you obsessed with choice-based-conjoint methodology 🤓@greenjrnl @GreenjrnlEd

After decades of attempts to develop new birth control medications for men, scientists are more hopeful than ever. With new abortion restrictions, demand is growing, experts say.

A useful companion to @EricBoodman's horrifying piece on sickle cell patients pressured into sterilization ( https://t.co/svwAxZsdjN) is a new study by Andrea Roe & co that discusses shortcomings in contraceptive counseling for sickle cell patients. https://t.co/YFtJlxsCSL
