PIP: Since conception often occurs as an unplanned consequence of coital behavior, there is a need for postconceptive family planning. 1 survey of women seeking abortion (Washington State) showed that 74% were not using contraceptives at the time of conception. Postconceptive methods currently available include the morning-after pill, dilatation and curettage, suction curettage, intra or extraovular manipulation, and hysterotomy and hysterectomy. New techniques of inducing endometrial shedding even before pregnancy has been ascertained should be explored and communicated. Prostaglandins may be 1 method.
