The results of the Demographic Health Survey 2014 showed that around 30% of family planning users in Egypt stop using within 12 months of starting use. Side effects and health concerns are the reasons users most often cite for stopping using (11 percent). Four percent of users stop using due to method failure (i.e., they became pregnant while using the method), 6 percent stop using because they want to become pregnant, and 5 percent discontinue as a result of other fertility-related reasons including marital dissolution, infrequent sex, and the onset of menopause. Considering individual methods, the highest rate of discontinuation is observed for prolonged breastfeeding (44 percent), followed by the pill (42 percent) and injectable (38 percent). The IUD has the lowest discontinuation rate; 14 percent of IUD users stop using the method during the first 12 months of use. The previous results of the Demographic Health Survey are used to perform some secondary analyzes. The study shows many results, the most important of which are that the high cost of the method is not the reason for discontinuation or switching to another method. The factors that reduce the probability of discontinuation of use for method-related reasons are: Women’s education and the effectiveness of using the method. The logistic regression method is also used to determine the most important determinants of discontinuation and switching from the use of family planning methods. The results of the analysis reveal the significance of six variables and absence of two variables. The study also comes out with some recommendations; the most important of which is the necessity to manufacture the IUD locally in order to reduce the cost of its production.
