  3. Abortion statistics England & Wales 201739% of women who had an abortion had one or more previous abortionswww.gov.uk/dh

  4. Medical abortion < 9 weeks Community 9-12 weeks HospitalSurgical abortion <12 weeks or ex circumstances

  5. Medical abortion:Medical history & examination HCG PositiveIf sure of dates & < 9 weeks (or 12 weeks in hospital)IF UNSURE OF DATES or = 12 weeks ULTRASOUNDCounselling & contraception supportSTI Screening Medication (include analgesia eg NSAID)Mifepristone 200mg oral (if <49 days)Then after 24-48 hoursMisoprosotol 400mcg if <49d 800mcg if between 49 – 63 d vaginal,buccal or sublingual

  6. Mifepristone an anti progestogenic steroid, sensitises the myometrium to prostaglandin-induced contractions and ripens the cervix.ContraindicationsAcute porphyrias , chronic adrenal failure; suspected ectopic pregnancy (use other specific means of termination); uncontrolled severe asthmaNB Competes with progesterone receptors for 5 days after use

  7. Surgical abortion Vacuum aspiriationDilatation & evacuation +/- medical methodsNB Incomplete medical abortion may require vacuum aspiration

  8. What Contraception were they using prior to this pregnancy?Is this a contraception failure?Is it rape?Were they using ANY contraception?

  9. Factors associated with Crisis Pregnancy in Ireland Bourke et al, RCSI ,2015

  10. Cochrane database Systematic Review 2014Contraception interventions for women seeking abortion Estimated that 40% of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended and most of these are due to the non‐use or failure of contraceptive methods (WHO 2007). Women who seek abortion services are a vulnerable population group Women who sought abortion were shown to be more motivated than their counterparts to use effective and safe contraception after the service procedure Effective post‐abortion care should include comprehensive intervention approaches, including personalized family planning counselling, with a wide availability of contraceptive methods and good quality of follow‐up service.

  11. England’s Teenage Pregnancy Strategy: a hard-won success , Lancet 2016 UK almost halved Teenage pregnancy rates by 2015.The Teenage Pregnancy Strategy was a complex, intersectoral, and multicomponent intervention, informed by available evidence on likely effective strategies to reduce pregnancies, from inception throughout its funding period over 10 years to 2015. 1 Whole government approach to administration across all sectors 2 Prevention efforts including HIGH QUALITY Sex Education & access to effective contraception 3 Better support of teenage parents including completion of education and access to secure housing

  12. Contraception is an essential element of high quality abortion care

  13. What contraception is best?

  14. Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives available in IrelandINJECTIONMedroxyprogesterone 150mg/ml IM 12 weekly injectionIMPLANTEtonogestrel 68mg subdermal implant, 3year licenceINTRA UTERINE DEVICESLevonorgestrel 52mg & 19 mg Intra uterine systems , 5 year licenceCopper Intra uterine devices egTSafe 380A QL,TT380 Slimline 10 years MiniTT380 Sl., Nova T380 5years

  15. Surgical abortionAny contraception including Intra uterine device placement at time of procedureBUT Higher rate of Expulsion 27.5% vs 4% in delayed insertionBJOG 2017;124 Korjamo et al

  16. Medical abortionIt’s a little more complicated…….Mifepristone may interfer with hormonal contraception for 5 days afterMedroxyprogesterone IM may increase incomplete abortion rate by 2.7%Intra uterine devices cannot be inserted until pregnancy endedEtonogestrel subdermal implant can be inserted immediately

  18. In a nutshell Long Acting Reversible Contraception post abortion is the most effective,safest and convenient method of reducing crisis pregnancy

  19. Pre abortion contraception counsellingDiscussion, education on effectiveness , individual factors& personal choicePost abortion counselling suitable options choice timingPlanning appointment if delay required

  20. No contraception • Rape, not normally sexually active • No longer sexually active • Just not ready

  21. Combined Hormonal contraception is less reliable BUT efficacy and safety AND compliance may be improved by counselling and prescribing365 Continuous PillUKFSRH May 2018

  22. LARC Medroxyprogesterone although safe and useful bridging may increase failure rates in Medical abortion Copper IUD and LNG IUS are highly effective, safe and convenient BUT delayed insertion may be preferable post surgical TOP to reduce expulsion rate AND must be delayed post Medical abortion until confirmation that the woman is no longer pregnant Subdermal implant Etonogestrelis most effective, safe, convenient and suitable immediately after Surgical and Medical abortion

  23. UK FSRH TRAINING FOR ABORTION CARE

  24. Challenges How do we design a system of consistent high quality Pre & post abortion Contraceptive counselling for every woman seeking TOP in Irish Reproductive Health? Can we ensure all providers are adequately trained with skills to offer full CHOICE of contraception? Is it reasonable to promote subdermal implants to all women ? When we know compliance and continuance is greatest with Copper IUD and Levonorgestrel IUS how do we ensure women return for follow up insertion? How do we improve our Sex Education for younger and mature women to promote uptake of most effective contraceptionand reduce and prevent Crisis pregnancy in Ireland? What about Indemnity?

  25. Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system. It implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so.UNFPA
