Is it safe for me to have sex before or after my periods in order not to get pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periods and sex: Hi. Everyday of your cycle except ON your period is either "before or after" your period, and much of that time would be fertile. You're generally safe having sex on your period and for one week after your period if you do not desire conception. If you don't want to gamble, and you have a normal libido, might I suggest birth control? Good luck!
