| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To identify the menstrual bleeding profile among cooper and 13,5 LNG-IUD users. Hypothesis: 13,5 LNG-IUD users have less quantity and fewer days of menstrual bleeding that cooper IUD users. Among 13,5 LNG-IUD users the total blood loss per cycle progressively decreases with continued use. The number of spotting and menstrual bleeding days may initially increase but then decrease in the months that follow.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate: - Spotting pattern. - Satisfaction and quality of life. - Continuation rates after 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. - Pain profile and adverse events.;Primary end point(s): - Number of menstrual bleeding days. Time frame: daily recorded during 90 days treatment period. - Menstrual bleeding characterization (intensity, pattern). Time frame: for 90 days treatment period. Classified using a 5-item Likert-like scale from ?none? to ?heavy? and a pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC). - Serum hemoglobin, hematocrit and ferritin levels.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Daily recorded during 90 days treatment period. | — |

| Secondary end point(s): - Number of spotting days. Time frame: daily recorded during 90 days treatment period. - Spotting bleeding characterization (intensity, pattern). Time frame: for 90 days treatment period. Classified using a 5-step scale from ?none? to ?heavy? and a pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC). - Global satisfaction with 13,5 LNG-IUD using a 5-item Likert-like scale(from extremely unsatisfied to extremely satisfied). Time frame: at the single visit. - Quality of life after 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. Time framer: at the single visit - Continuation rate after 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. Time frame: at the single visit. - Adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Daily recorded during 90 days treatment period. | — |
