A member asked:
Is it really safe to have sex before or after having a menstruation? will it prevent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: There is no danger in having sex before, during and after your period. Some people just prefer to avoid intercourse when there is blood present but it is not dangerous. You can still get pregnant and you can still catch stds. If you do not want to be pregnant you should use birth control and condoms.
