The most common methods used were hormonal method (56.5%).  The IUD was used by 28.3%. The majority of the women choose the method according to their desire and with their husband agreement. More than one third of them received contraceptive information from friends and relatives. Only 34.7% of the sample suffered from side-effects and complications associated with the use of the contraceptive method.

Conclusion:  More than half of the sample used hormonal contraceptives, over than one fourth used IUCD and few women used barriers.
