Brief Summary:
* All patients fulfilling the selection criteria undergo complete clinical examination and detailed medical history obtained. Each patient had a Case Record Form (CRF) recording participants' name. number, previous deliveries and abortions, age, height, weight, BMI, LMP, past medical and surgical history and contraceptive history.
* All participants will be subjected to transvaginal ultrasound to measure uterine size, endometrial and myometrial thickness, uterine position, cervical length, cervical diameter and for detection of any contraindications for IUD insertion.
Power Doppler Energy (PDE) measurement for subendometrial microvascularization will be done and categorized as women with minor subendometrial vascularization (Classifications I and II) and major subendometrial vascularization (Classifications III, IV and V)
Detailed Description:
All patients fulfilling the selection criteria undergo complete clinical examination and detailed medical history obtained.

Only clinicians with proven proficiency in IUD insertion will be allowed to perform insertions.
* Perform a bimanual examination to determine the size, shape, and position of the uterus.
* Insert a warm, moistened speculum.
* Cleanse the cervix with an antiseptic solution.
* Open the sterile insertion instruments without touching the inside of the packet and place within easy reach.
* Remove the tenaculum by its handle and grasp the anterior or posterior lip of the cervix. Close gently to the first notch. Having the woman to cough while the tenaculum is being attached can ease the pinch.
* Apply gentle traction with the tenaculum to straighten the canal.
* Remove the sound by its handle and gently insert it to measure the depth of the uterus. Do not apply great force if there is resistance. Apply further traction to the tenaculum and attempt to re-insert the sound at a different angle. Once the sound is inserted and removed, note the depth of the uterine cavity. The woman can expect to feel cramping as the sound is inserted and withdrawn.
* Open the IUD pack without touching its contents.
* Put on sterile gloves.
* Load the IUD and insert it into the uterine cavity according to the manufacturer instructions. As the IUD is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, the patient may have pain and cramping similar to strong menstrual cramps.
* Gently remove the tenaculum. Tamponade any bleeding from the tenaculum site until it is resolved.
* Trim the strings of the IUD to 3-4 cm in length and note the string length. Avoid cutting the strings too short. If the client or her partner becomes aware of the threads, they may be cut shorter in length at the follow-up visit.
* Remove the speculum and assess the woman.
* Pain score will be assessed using Visual Analogue Scale:
1. Anticipated pain or current pain before the intervention.
2. Immediately after speculum insertion.
3. Immediately after tenaculum placement.
4. Immediately after uterine sounding.
5. During or immediately after IUD insertion.
6. Five minutes after the procedure
* Follow up at 3 and 6 months to assess women satisfaction with the method, menstrual pattern, symptoms of vaginal/pelvic infection Abdominal pain/tenderness Dyspareunia (woman/partner) Cramping or pregnancy.
* Vaginal examination to assess any infections or abnormalities and repeat ultrasound examination to assess the position of the IUD
