AB  - The  puerperium  offers  an  excellent  opportunity  to  provide  effective  contraception.  For  mothers  who  are  nursing  exclusively,  ovulation  during  the  first  10  weeks  after  delivery  is  unlikely.  Nursing,  however,  is  not  a  reliable  method  of  family  planning  for  women  whose  infants  breastfeed  only  during  the  day.  Moreover,  waiting  for  first  menses  involves  a  risk  of  pregnancy,  because  ovulation  usually  antedates  menstruation.  Certainly,  after  the  first  menses,  contraception  is  essential  unless  the  woman  desires  pregnancy.
