ABSTRACT
PIP: Data from two prospective studies of the ovulation method in Nyahururu, Kenya, and Santiago, Chile, were analyzed to assess the occurrence of pregnancy and related behaviors among breastfeeding women. The rate of unplanned pregnancy was less than 1% during the first six months of lactational amenorrhea, but was elevated among breastfeeding women during the months after menses return compared with the pregnancy rate during nonlactating cycles. Rates were also elevated at the time when infant feeding supplementation was started. The authors note that the increase in unplanned pregnancies cannot be directly attributed to nonadherence to the ovulation method rules. In fact, there was some indication that adherence to the rules may even be increased during those months. The authors also encourage special emphasis in ovulation method training and support programs upon both the need for improved breastfeeding support to delay menses return and the increased potential for method failure among new users.
