I'm also just going by what my gyn told me. He's placed IUDs in a lot of my friends (both copper, hormonal, and Mirena.)
I wouldn't doubt that it is easier to place in previously pregnant women, and there is some instances of scarring that could render you sterile, so maybe they only recommend it for people who are done having children. Though, the scarring rendering me sterile was something that attracted me to IUDs. (I have no qualms about not wanting kids ever.)
