Stopping Contraception


Method

What do I need to do?

The Pill (Combined Oral Contraceptive)
  • Finish the packet you are on.
  • Many doctors advise that you delay trying to conceive for two to three months so that your body is back to its pattern. Fertility levels normally return during this time.
  • Use alternative forms of contraception such as condoms.
  • Most women are pregnant after stopping the pill within a year.
Progesterone Pill
  • Finish the packet you are on.
  • Many doctors advise that you should wait for one period before trying to conceive.
  • Fertility levels return quickly
Depo-Provera
(Injectable hormones)
  • Do not renew your injections.
  • It will take up to twelve weeks for the effects of the injections to wear off. Many women also find that it can take as long as a year before they conceive.
  • Seek advice from your doctor or family planning clinic.
Progesterone implants
e.g. Norplant
  • This is usually long-term contraception, but can be reversed.
  • Make an appointment with your doctor to have the implants removed. This is usually a quick procedure done with a local anaesthetic. Fertility levels return quite quickly with 40% of women conceiving within four months.
  • You might be advised to wait for a period before trying to conceive.
Coil
Intrauterine Device, IUD)
  • Make an appointment with your doctor or family planning clinic to have it removed.
  • You might be advised to wait until your next period before starting to conceive. Fertility levels should not be affected.
Condoms
(male and female)
  • Stop using them when you are ready to try for a baby. These don't affect your fertility levels.
Diaphragm and Cap
  • Stop using them when you are ready to try for a baby. These don't affect your fertility levels.
Rhythm/temperature method
  • This method does not affect your fertility levels. Aim now to have sex during the times when you were previously abstaining.
Withdrawal
  • This method does not affect your fertility levels. While in theory, you could have become pregnant using withdrawal method alone, increase your chances now by not withdrawing.
Spermicide
  • This method does not affect your fertility levels. Stop using spermicide, although consider in future that this method alone may not prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
