 Family planning programs in Islamic Republic of Iran is faced with limited resources. So the evaluation of family planning programs, in order to determine how much we have reached to our targets, is so important.The easiest way for measuring the results of these activities is by using a couple year of protection.Method and Material: This study is conducted in order to clarify the couple-year of protection of three methods of contraception: condom, tubectomy, vasectomy.300 condom users, 290 cases of tubectomey and 290 cases that vasectome was done for their husbands were selected by simple random sampling from the health centers in Shiraz. They were asked about mean coital frequency per month in condom users and asked about age of women during using permanent contraceptive method, and then CYP was calculated.Results: Converting factors were 0.012, 9.82 and 10.76 in order for condom, tubectomy, and vasectomy.Mean live children number was 4.8 + 0.52 for vasectomy and 5.21 + 0.76 for tubectomy. Educational level of cases of vasectomy was statistically significant in comparison to tubectomy (P<0.05).Conclusion: Converting factors of permanent methods are less than Wishik coefficient (12) and these methods have the least protection.With regard to the importance of age of using these methods on providing protection, these methods must be done of younger age. Converting factor of condom is more than wishik coefficient.
