Return of Fertility after Discontinuation of Contraception According Type of Contraception, Duration of Use, Age and Body Mass Index

Abstract

Objective: To determine the relationship between the type of contraception, duration of use, BMI, and age on the return of fertility. Methods: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects in this study was 123 multigravida mothers who had met the inclusion criteria, namely with a history of regular intercourse and the exclusion criteria in this study were multigravida mothers with a history of abortion and failure of the family planning method. Data were collected by direct interviews and medical record data. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and Logistic Regression test. Result: The results of the Chi-square analysis showed a relationship between the type of contraception (p=0.001;OR=1.29) and age (p=0.031;OR=4.69) with the return of fertility. However, there was no correlation between the duration of use (p=0.964;OR=0.97) and BMI (p=0.246;OR=0.50) with the return of fertility. In the logistic regression test, there was no partial effect of the type of contraception (p=0.997;OR=0.22) and age (p=0.058;OR=0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the type of contraception and age with the return of fertility after family planning, where non-hormonal contraceptives and <30 years of age return to fertility faster, namely <1 year, but there is no relationship between duration of use and BMI with the return of fertility after family planning.
