Aims and objectives:• To determine the proportion of women accepting immediate PPIUCD insertion. • To determine the rates of expulsion, pelvic infection, lost strings, and displacement following PPIUCD insertion among the acceptors by 6 weeks. Materials and methods:The material used in this study was copper T 380A.The modified kelly's forceps was used for the post placental insertion of copper T into the uterine cavity under aseptic precautions. Results:The acceptance rate of copper T in this study was 26.44.• The expulsion rate of copper T at the end of 6 weeks was 2.22% • There were no cases of pelvic infection or displacement of copper T in this study. Conclusion:The acceptance rate of copper T was poor which was mainly attributable to the lack of sufficient knowledge about copper T and the false beliefs regarding the impact the copper T has on the health of the individual. However in those women who accepted for copper T insertion were satisfied with the copper T as a temporary method of contraception.
