Reversing Contraception: Here's How You Can Conceive After Using Saheli Plus

By Saheli Plus | September 29, 2025

Deciding when to have children, how many children to have, and at what intervals to have them are some of the most crucial questions a woman must ask herself in life. These are important life decisions, as they determine her future, health, career, and education, as well as the financial stability and self-sufficiency of her family, and how the emotional and nutritional needs of her children will be met.

While in the past, women were not allowed to ask these questions or make decisions that impact their lives, today, modern contraception has given them an unprecedented level of bodily autonomy. As a result, they can now implement family planning and birth spacing. They can complete their education, build careers, achieve financial independence, empowerment, and gender equality.

While making contraceptive choices, women often tend to prioritise safety, convenience, affordability, and ease of use. However, it is equally important to consider whether the contraceptive choice is easily reversible without any issues when it is time to have a child. The ability to reverse contraception ensures the return to fertility; a good contraceptive should make reversing contraception safe and easy. It should not cause any delays or affect women's reproductive health and fertility. So, it is indispensable to know more about how reversible different contraception methods are before making an informed health choice.

This article explores the usual concerns for women while reversing contraception, compares the reversibility of different contraception methods, and explains why Saheli Plus stands out as an excellent choice of reversible protection without the drawbacks of hormonal pills.

The Usual Concerns for Women When Reversing Contraception

Two of the foremost concerns of women using contraceptives are whether they can reverse contraception and quickly regain fertility, and whether the fertility return will be immediate or delayed. The contraceptive reversal experience of women varies depending on the type of contraception method used.

Hormonal pills (OCPs): While reversing contraception is straightforward after using hormonal pills, women often worry about delayed ovulation, irregular cycles, or temporary disruptions in menstrual health. These are usually the side effects of hormonal pills. They do not affect your fertility. Research findings establish that women using hormonal pills can regain fertility within a few months. However, in some cases, delays of up to a year may occur.

Intrauterine devices (IUDs): Both Copper and hormonal IUDs are easily reversible, though they require healthcare professionals to insert and remove IUDs, making it expensive. Fertility returns quickly after the removal of IUDs.

Reversible and Irreversible Methods of Contraception

Below is a list of contraceptive methods created for women, their reversibility, and their advantages and disadvantages.

MethodTypeReversibilityAdvantages
Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCPs)HormonalReversibleAccessible and effective; causes side effects and can cause delay in fertility return in some cases
IUDDevice (Copper/Hormonal)ReversibleLong-acting with high effectiveness; quick fertility return is possible; needs hospital visits to insert and remove - can be expensive as a result
Saheli PlusNon-hormonal pillReversibleNon-hormonal and safe, no side effects, fertility returns naturally, highly affordable and accessible, convenient, and easy-to-use
Sterilisation (Tubectomy)SurgicalIrreversiblePermanent and highly effective; can be painful

How is Saheli Plus Different When It Comes to Reversing Fertility?

As mentioned in the table above, Saheli Plus stands out as a unique reversible contraception method with numerous advantages. Unlike other OCPs, Saheli Plus is a non-hormonal contraceptive. To understand why it is effective, reversible, and has no side effects, it is crucial to learn how it works.

Unlike hormonal pills that modulate hormone levels to achieve contraception, Saheli Plus alters the uterine lining and prevents implantation. As a result, Saheli Plus:

  • Does not affect long-term fertility
  • Does not affect the natural hormonal balance
  • Does not disrupt natural cycles after discontinuation
  • Causes no side effects

How Effective is Saheli Plus as a Reversible Contraception in Comparison?

Saheli has been the subject of clinical studies for many decades. It has been part of the national family planning programme since 1995. So, Saheli Plus is a tried and tested product, and there is ample clinical evidence to prove its effectiveness as a reversible contraceptive.

Unlike hormonal pills that affect the hormonal balance, cause side effects, and in some cases, a few months' delay in regaining fertility post-reversal, Saheli Plus offers a straightforward path back to natural fertility. Its non-hormonal contraception profile maintains hormonal balance, which is crucial for women's reproductive health, menstrual cycle regularity, and quick reversal.

How to Reverse Saheli Plus

Reversing Saheli Plus is a straightforward process.

  • Stop taking Saheli Plus, and fertility will return naturally within six months, which is a predictable and reassuring timeline for women planning pregnancy.
  • Track your menstrual cycles to determine your fertile window, which is the time period during the menstrual cycle when you are most fertile and the chances of getting pregnant are high.
  • Prepare physically and mentally for pregnancy by adopting a lifestyle that supports fertility, involving a balanced diet, exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep.
  • If there is a delay of more than a year to conceive, consult a doctor.

Being safe, effective, reliable, and easily reversible, Saheli Plus is the most preferred reversible contraceptive for women.

Best Practices to Improve Fertility After Stopping Contraception

Once you stop taking Saheli Plus, you can actively support the contraceptive reversal by following these best practices.

  • Stay active and maintain a healthy body weight to avoid any delay in ovulation.
  • Improve reproductive health with a nutrient-rich diet that includes lean proteins, folic acid, iron, zinc, and omega-3.
  • Reduce stress and prevent it from interfering with the hormonal signals necessary for ovulation.
  • Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
  • Seek medical advice early if you suffer from irregular cycles or reproductive health conditions.

Final Thoughts

Reversing contraception and conceiving whenever you want is as important as achieving effective contraception and preventing untimely, unwanted pregnancies. Among all the contraception methods designed for women, OCPs are the most affordable, accessible, and easy-to-use method. However, hormonal pills affect reproductive health, cause side effects, and may sometimes even cause a delay in regaining fertility post-reversal.

On the other hand, Saheli Plus, as a non-hormonal contraceptive, avoids side effects, has proven effectiveness similar to the hormonal pills, and ensures safe and timely reversal. By understanding how it works and adopting the best practices to regain fertility after reversing Saheli Plus, you can transition seamlessly from pregnancy prevention to pregnancy planning while safeguarding your reproductive health and overall menstrual health.

3. What are the long-acting reversible methods of contraception?
