PLANNING A PREGNANCY

PLANNING A PREGNANCY

We know that planning a pregnancy is a big decision, and we want to help you get there.


Whether you are using contraception for the first time or have been using it for years, finding the best method for your needs can be tricky.

The following list will help you understand what is happening in your body when you take birth control pills and other methods of contraception.

Condoms: If you and your partner use condoms (or internal condoms) to prevent pregnancy, all you need to do is stop using them. The spermicide in them can still kill sperm, so if you stop taking them before having sex again with your partner, you may be able to get pregnant quickly after stopping them. 

The Pill: Whether you use the combined or progestogen-only pill, you can get pregnant as soon as you stop taking it. To give yourself time to get to know your body and to monitor your cycle so that later you can time sex for when you are most fertile, wait a month after stopping your pill for the cycle to return to its normal pattern - use condoms in the meantime
If you're using Depo Provera, you should stop getting your injections well before you want to get pregnant and switch to another shorter-acting method of contraception such as condoms or the pill.

For some people, ovulation (release of an egg) won't begin for many months after they stop using Depo, some will begin to ovulate straight away, and others will start after just a few months.

Everyone is different, and you can’t predict how long it will take for your fertility to return, so if children are on your horizon, it’s a good idea to allow some time for your fertility to come back.

Vasectomy should always be considered a permanent method of contraception.

While it is possible to have a vasectomy reversed, it is important to know that it is not always successful. Reversal can be expensive and will mean you need to see a specialist. The more time that has passed since the vasectomy, the more difficult a reversal will be.

Other tips:

When you are trying to start a family, we recommend that you:

Avoid alcohol

Start taking folic acid tablets before you conceive. Folic acid prevents your baby from developing spina bifida
