You should not use the IUD if you have had a pelvic infection following either childbirth or an abortion in the past three months.
Is that supposed to read "don't have an IUD if you had a pelvic infection after childbirth, or a pelvic infection after an abortion," or "if you had a pelvic infection after childbirth, or had an abortion (with or without a pelvic infection)"? If the latter, couldn't have an IUD inserted "immediately" after the abortion. On the other hand, a 3 month waiting period sounds like a reasonable amount of time for the woman to decide whether she wants the IUD.
