Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Has, in the opinion of the investigator, suitable general and uterine conditions for inserting the LCS.
- Normal cervical smear (normal cervical smear within the last six months prior to visit 1 presented in writing can be accepted. The cervical smear should be analyzed and reported according to the Bethesda System.)

Exclusion

- Note: Postpartum insertions should be postponed until uterus is fully involuted, however not earlier than 6 weeks after delivery. If involution is substantially delayed, consider waiting until 12 weeks postpartum. In case of a difficult insertion and/or exceptional pain or bleeding during or after insertion, physical examination and ultrasound should be performed immediately to exclude perforation.
- History of ectopic pregnancies. Note: For Korea only: History of ectopic pregnancies or high probability of ectopic gestation.

- History of, diagnosed or suspected genital malignancy, and untreated cervical dysplasia.
- Current deep venous thrombosis or thrombophlebitis; history of deep venous thrombosis.
- Clinically significant endometrial polyp(s), which, in the opinion of the investigator, will interfere with the assessment of the bleeding profile during the study
- Clinically significant ovarian cyst(s)
