What is the average safe period for canned goods?
The most enthusiastic experimenters were users of the safe period and those using minor methods, with diaphragm users and couples using withdrawal occupying an intermediate position.

Of the 33 who prescribed one method only, 26 were for the pill and 7 for the safe period.
Among the traditional methods, the safe period is the most popular (17%).
Seventeen women (4%) relied on withdrawal or the safe period and only five women (1 %) took no precautions.

One patient became pregnant with an intrauterine device in situ, one while using a diaphragm and two had been using the safe period.
