The effect of the oral contraceptive (OC) pill takes time to develop, may be lost if the pill is forgotten or missed, and may be compromised on changing from one type of pill to another. Advice on how to deal with these situations is given by the Family Planning Information Service in a method instruction sheet, by the DHSS in a Handbook of Contraceptive Practice and by manufacturers in their data sheets. However the advice is not always consistent. This article aims to clarify the guidance.

Family planning is an essential tool for reducing fertility rate. An increase in contraceptive prevalence results in reduction of population growth, which in turn contributes significantly to the improvement of maternal health. It is a cross-sectional study done during period of April-July 2007 in a large Medical Centre at Motijheel, Dhaka. Information on reproductive history was obtained to find out their contraceptive prevalence and regulation of fertility. Two hundred and thirty one (231) women (childbearing age) were selected randomly to find out their contraceptive prevalence. Eighty four (n=197) percent women needs family planning service .Among them 87.82 percent (N-173) use any method of contraception. 79.76% ( N-138) women use modern method and 20.23 percent ( N-35) couple use natural method .Thirty three (33.53 %)percent couple practice barrier method, twenty two (22.54%) percent use oral pill. Present study revealed that contraceptive practice and fertility rate both are low among servicing women. Contraception and fertility control is an underlying factor for the achievement of several Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). For reduction of infant mortality (4th MDG) and maternal mortality (5th MDG) contraception is essential. Finally it plays a role in combating poverty within the first MDG.

A survey of married men living with their wives revealed that they had, on the average, been married for 14 years and had 2.8 children. The men in this survey were found to be positively oriented towards family planning. Seventy-nine per cent were using a contraceptive at the time of the survey. The analysis revealed that race and education explained differences in contraceptive practice. Black males reported using more effective methods, namely the pill, than white males. The examination of the effect of education revealed that as education increased, the racial differences persisted except for those men with education beyond high school.
