AB  - BACKGROUND: Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices (PPIUCD) are 
      increasingly included in many national postpartum family planning (PPFP) 
      programs, but satisfaction of women who have adopted PPIUCD and complication 
      rates need further characterization. Our specific aims were to describe women who 
      accepted PPIUCD, their experience and satisfaction with their choice, and 
      complication of expulsion or infection. METHODS: We studied 2,733 married women, 
      aged 15-49 years, who received PPIUCD in sixteen health facilities, located in 
      eight states and the national capital territory of India, at the time of IUCD 
      insertion and six weeks later. The satisfaction of women who received IUCD during 
      the postpartum period and problems and complications following insertion were 
      assessed using standardized questionnaires. RESULTS: Mean (SD) age of women 
      accepting PPIUCD was 24 (4) years. Over half of women had parity of one, and 
      nearly one-quarter had no formal schooling. Nearly all women (99.6%) reported 
      that they were satisfied with IUCD at the time of insertion and 92% reported 
      satisfaction at the six-week follow-up visit. The rate of expulsion of IUCD was 
      3.6% by six weeks of follow-up. There were large variations in rates of problems 
      and complications that were largely attributable to the individual hospitals 
      implementing the study. CONCLUSIONS: Women who receive PPIUCD show a high level 
      of satisfaction with this choice of contraception, and the rates of expulsion 
      were low enough such that the benefits of contraceptive protection outweigh the 
      potential inconvenience of needing to return for care for that subset of women.
