This is absolute correct, Bhasu Ghosh Prabhu. There are exceptions to any rule.

After Himavati devi dasi had a still born son, Srila Prabhupada instructed

Himavati and her husband Hansadutta Prabhu to go back to Brahmacharya. When

they asked what that means, he told them they can live together but should not

try to have any more children, in other words, not have any sex.

Previously he had instructed them to have a child after chanting at least 50

rounds of Japa each.

 

Your humble servant,

Hrimati dasi
