Summary. Two hundred and ninety nine women (58 nulliparous) were fitted with Multiload Cu 250 IUCDs in five family planning clinics and followed up for 1 year. Women months (2425) of use were computerized and analyzed according to the life‐table method, yielding a zero pregnancy rate and an expulsion rate of 5·0.
