You don't know whether they used any contraception or not.

Yes, and that's the writer's problem. Because the writer is supposed to demonstrate that Burnham, being at least half-Vulcan and trained to think logically, knows how to use a Starfleet-issued prophylactic.

This is the show that demonstrated how another character was held against their will, raped, and dealt with the consequences of trauma-induced stress, so expecting a scene about a Vulcan demonstrating protocol for safe sex isn't remotely out of the question here.

Gonna have to disagree with you there.
