Contraceptive practices in women with repeat termination of pregnancies

Abstract: The incidence of repeat termination of pregnancies (TOP) has been increasing in the past decade in-spite-of widespread availability of free and effective contraceptive methods. A retrospective analysis of case notes of women referred for TOP in the Family Planning clinic at Luton, between January and October 2005 was carried out. A total of 159 women were referred for TOP. Of these, 42 (26.4%) were repeat procedures. In this subgroup, 78.5% had used one or more contraceptive methods after the first termination… Show more

“…On the whole, our findings echo existing research that found associations between more than one TOP and factors including age, contraceptive challenges, accommodation and IPV . They also evidence the suggestion that women experience terminations quite differently, and not as ‘repeats’ of the same, rendering the shorthand of ‘repeat abortion’ misleading.…”

[1][2][3][4][5][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] They also evidence the suggestion that women experience terminations quite differently, and not as 'repeats' of the same, rendering the shorthand of 'repeat abortion' misleading. A striking feature of our interpretive synthesis is its identification of a range of potential challenges or vulnerabilities may be experienced by women in this position.…”

“…Besides the withdrawal method, which is an unreliable method for pregnancy prevention, the cause of failure varies according to the method applied by couples. Pills' failure might be due to not taking pills regularly, having low knowledge and having fear of its complications, according to a British study; forgetting to take pills regularly was the main cause of unwanted pregnancy (Palanivelu and Oswal, ; Grimes and Shulz, ); improper and irregular use is the leading factor of condoms failure (Palanivelu and Oswal, ); and IUD failure is because of taking it out after bleeding and its improper replacement and inability to control it (Penney et al ., ). French et al .…”

“…A study in the United Kingdom showed that the main cause of unplanned pregnancies was forgetting drug consumption or no protection at gastrointestinal diseases. That study also suggested that most unintended pregnancies occurred when contraceptive methods were used improperly or irregularly (Palanivelu & Oswal, 2007). In the study, the occurrence of errors in the use of oral contraceptives could increase the refractive index from one in a thousand to 8% (Glasier, 2006 ).…”
