Hello,

I need to calculate duration of discontinuation after a women has used contraception method before delivering the first child. I am using vcal_1 variable in DHS calendar data,but I am unable to create the duration of C_use and Duration_of_discontinuation variable. Can anyone please help?
I need to calculate duration of contraceptive use before and after delivery of the first child?
I have to create contraceptive life table (multi-state life table method) using calendar data,my outcome is unintended pregnancy(only for the first child)?
Do i need to fix my time period for one year or shall I take whole five year? Obviously, there will be discontinuation at any point of time in an interval.

Thank you in advance.!
