The data was analysed using statistic test of logistic regression multivariate use SPSS version 15nd STATA version 10. The analysed used primary sampling unit and weight to adjust based on survey design. Result: Proportion of discontinuation of contraceptives in women of childbearing age 10–49 years is 32%. In comparison between regions, the highest prevalence of discontinuation of contraceptives is on outer Jawa Bali II (33.6%) than outer Jawa Bali I (32.9%) and Jawa Bali (30.5%). The most frequent reason of discontinuation of contraceptives are do not need contraceptives (31%), want to have child (26%), fear of side effects (14%) and do not want anymore (10%).

The odds ratio of discontinuation of contraceptives is also higher among couples who have less children (0-1 child) compare to those who has 3 or more children (OR adjusted 1.486; 95% CI = 1.373–1.568). Couples who have children in the same sex have higher discontinuation of contraceptives than couples who have both male and female children (OR adjusted 1.398; 95% CI = 1.333–.466).
