Within a marriage the only allowed method of birth control is what used to be call the rhythm method which was counting days and predicting fertility. They have a new name now...Natural Family Planning.
Old joke - Why to they call it practicing the rhythm method? Because you never perfect it.
Yeah, I was kind of taking that into account. It's still pretty low, so if you really don't want children, or any more children, then abstinence is the only reliable option.
And now even NFP is coming under scrutiny. This article is a little dated, but it suggests that people shouldn't use it because it creates embryos that are disadvantaged and get flushed out before their time.
