Known anatomical abnormalities of the cervix such as severe cervical stenosis, prior trachelectomy or extensive conization that, in the opinion of the investigator would prevent cervical dilation and study device placement; 16. Current or recent (within the last 3 months) untreated acute cervicitis or vaginitis; 17. Known or suspected breast cancer or other progestin-sensitive cancer now or in the past; 18. Known acute liver disease or liver tumor; 19. Subjects who have an established immunodeficiency; 20. High risk for STDs (e.g., multiple sexual partners); 21.
