Both groups’ participants were followed at first week, first and third month after IUD insertion. Physical and ultrasound also were performed during each follow up visit. Results: There was no significant difference between immediate post placental and post puerperal IUD insertion groups regarding their base line characteristics (p>0.05) at different time of follow up. There was no significant difference between both regarding expulsion, perforation, bleeding and pelvic infection.
