Conception delay after oral contraceptive use: the effect of estrogen dose.

A significant delay was observed in conception among 248 former oral contraceptive (OC) users compared with women discontinuing other methods of contraception (n = 1,365). The mean time to conception was 5.88 cycles (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.38, 6.38) for former OC users and 3.64 cycles (95% CI 3.49, 3.79) after other contraceptives. Women discontinuing OCs with higher doses of estrogen (greater than or equal to 50 micrograms) had greater conception delays than those on lower estrogen doses who, in turn, had longer delays than other method users. Oral contraceptive use was associated with significant reductions in conception for each of the first six cycles after discontinuation. This study provides further evidence for a direct effect of oral contraception on delayed conception, suggests that the delay lasts longer than previously thought, and finds that the probability of conception after OC discontinuation depends on the estrogen dose of the OC.

Fertility conditions in Gondar, northwestern Ethiopia: an appraisal of current status.

In order to study current fertility conditions, this study examines the sociocultural, economic, and demographic characteristics of 734 women aged 15-55 in the Gondar administrative region of northwestern Ethiopia. Women over age 45 in the sample were found to have, on average, 7.27 pregnancies, 0.88 abortions, 6.39 children ever-born, 1.51 child deaths, and 4.88 live offspring. The total infertility rate was 8.5 percent, and the subfertility rate was 12.7 percent. Fertility levels in the region were relatively high, compared to other developing countries. Contraceptive use was estimated at 3.6 per 1,000 women (for ages 15-49). The need for more effective family planning services is strongly indicated. The study suggests that, among other goals, policy efforts should focus on the reduction of unintended conception and unwanted fertility.
