Of these, 36.2 per cent chose IUCDs, whereas 50.8 per cent chose DMPAs, 7.6 per cent COCs and 5.3 per cent condoms. Of those 190 who were unfit for IUCK, 1.6 per cent had been past users. Those who were unfit were reassessed to fulfil the wishes of users. In all, DMPA was the most utilized method (54.2 per cent), followed by IUCD (31.3 per cent), COC (9.0 per cent) and condoms (5.5 per cent).
