Is it imperative that patients are in the early proliferative phase of their menstrual cycles at the time of the procedure?
Yes, this precaution in our labeling is made for the following reasons: 1) to avoid micro-insert placement in a patient with an undiagnosed (luteal phase) pregnancy; and 2) to enhance visualization of the fallopian tube ostia. In women with cycles shorter than 28 days, perform the procedure at least 2 days prior to the calculated ovulation date. Micro-insert placement should NOT be performed during menstruation.
