14 FAMILY LIMITATION I would advise the use of a recommended suppository for the first few months in the case of a bride, until the parts are in a condition where a pessary may be inserted and worn with comfort. Sometimes it is advisable to use suppositories during the early months of marriage, using the Mizpah pessary only after children have been born. 2. Is a douche necessary after the use of the suppository? To be certain of good reults [results], I would advise a douche as soon as convenient. 3. Are any of these methods recommended injurious to the health of the man or woman? The only method which physicians claim may be injurious to one or both is the continued practice of withdrawal. This method is not generally recommended, though it is practiced largely in France and England. 4. Which method is safest? All are safe if you use care and intelligence in applying them. 5. Which the least troublesome? The pessary can be recommended as the least troublesome, as after it is inserted it may be left to cover the cervix until the next day. 6. Is there a safe period? There is no absolutely safe period between the menstrual periods where intercourse can take place without pregnancy occurring, at least not for all women. Some women claim this period exists in themselves, but unless you know this positively I would not advise a woman to depend upon it. 7. How soon after menstruation ceases should intercourse occur? This should be left, as in all cases, to the natural desire of the woman. 8. Does nursing a baby prevent pregnancy? It is claimed that pregnancy does not so easily occur during the nursing period especially during the first three or four months. There are many women, however, who have conceived immediately, giving birth to another baby eleven months after the other. I would not advise depending upon this at all. Use some preventive at once and control intelligently the time for the next baby's arrival, instead of leaving it to chance.
