“…According to the comprehensive review by Mansour et al, it has been found that one-year pregnancy rates following cessation of oral contraceptives, contraceptive implants and monthly injections, copper IUDs and the LNG (Levonorgestrel)-IUD are broadly similar to those reported following discontinuation of barrier methods or use of no contraceptive methods (Mansour, Gemzell-Danielsson, Inki, & Jensen, 2011).…”

Background: The objective of this study is to investigate the myths of women about contraceptive methods. Method: This study was planned as a cross-sectional research. The study population consisted of 1335 women aged between 16 and 56 years, who attended to a family planning clinic of a state hospital in Karaman City in the southwest part of Turkey. Findings: The mean age of women has been 32.79±8.8. While 6.2% (n=84) of the women used no contraceptive method, 70.4% (n=945) of them used an effective method and 23.4% (n=312) used a traditional method. The 40.2% of women have believed in that the oral contraceptive method caused weight gain, infertility, bleeding disorders, hirsutism, cancer, irritability, malformed baby and premature menopause. The 24.2% of women have thought of that the intrauterine devices caused bleeding disorder, moving in the body, cancer, decreased sexual desire, genital infection and infertility. Conclusions: There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding contraception, and they can sometimes prevent a woman from making an informed choice.

“…23 According to a review, 1-year pregnancy rates after discontinuation of COC ranged from 79% to 96%, similar to those reported following discontinuation of barrier methods or no contraception. 24 Moreover, the progestogen effect of COC pills results in production of thick, tenacious cervical mucus that resists penetration by bacteria and spermatozoa and reduces the risk of upper genital tract infection. Use of COC pills was also quoted to be protective against symptomatic pelvic inflammatory disease, with a 50% reduction in rate of hospitalisation for the disease, with itself being a risk factor for subfertility.…”
