95%CI=l.44-5.71), history of l.U.D. training (Odds ratio=3.l, 95%Cl=l.51-6.35) , husband agreement (Odds ratio=l9.88, 95%Cl=4.52-87.8) and fewer number of: pregnancy (Odds ratio =2.79,
95%CI= 1.26-6.15), children (Odds ratio=2, 95%CI= 1.03-4.0 I) and sons (Odds ratio =3.46, 95%Cl= 1.54-
7.78) were positively associated with selection of IUD, besides the history of side effects from this method decreased using of this instrument (Odds ratio=0.17, 95%CI=0.4-0.73).
