is it true that one week before and after mestruation, having sex is safe?

It depends on when ovulation occurs during your cycle.  Everyone is different.  One week after menstruation typically wouldn't be safe- a week before menstruation would really depend on when you ovulate.

It is safe to have sex right up until the birth of the child unless there is a medical problem.\n\nIf it is a healthy uncomplicated pregnancy, go for it.\n\nMost women have a higher libido whilst pregnant.

Yes, you certainly can.  No problem, no difference than any other day.  It's messier of course, so put a towel down.  But you can have sex and orgasm.  As a matter of fact, orgasm can help ease your cramps during your period.  Find a guy who isn't "grossed out"- and a real man won't be, and go for it.

If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy. Sex is not harmful to the baby at all. As long as you are feeling well and your doctor hasn't told to avoid sex due to a medical risk, sexual intercourse and orgasm might even be beneficial. I have supplied many links for articles written by DOCTORS.....all say sex and pregnancy is fine for almost all people. \n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_n...\n\nhttp://www.babycenter.com/general/pregna...\n\nhttp://vanderbiltowc.wellsource.com/dh/c...

Its safe if its a normal pregnancy and if you stick to basic/natural methods and hygeine. Sex in first trimester should be avoided though

It really depends.  It does no harm to make love during your period, and if neither of you mind the 'bloody mess', there should be no reason not to.  If you are of some faiths, like Jewish, it is wrong to have relations during the menstrual cycle, but I've not seen nor heard of any particular reason not to except the mess.  Hope it helps.

You might be better doing a pregnancy test, you can still get pregnant if you have sex without protection during your period !

If you start the pill at the beginning of your cycle (the first day of your period), you're protected immediately.  If you start at any other time, then it is possible that you could have ovulated before you started the pill.  Generally it is advised to use some other form of protection for a week after starting the pill at a time other than at the beginning of your cycle.  However, I would suggest using backup contraception until the beginning of your first menstrual period after starting the pill.  That way even if you did ovulate before you started taking the pill, you wouldn't get pregnant from it.  Anytime you are worried about how effective the pill might be, use a backup method such as a condom.  Also, until you are absolutely certain that you and your partner both do not have any STD's, use a condom--the pill doesn't protect you from STD's at all.

Not a very reliable one for the first thing. A woman ovulates between the 13-17 day after the first day your period starts. Add on a couple of days before and after to be sure and those are the days for the average woman that has a 28 day cycle. So avoid the 10-19 days after the first day of your period. If your cycle is longer, and you go more than 28 days between your periods you will be playing Russian Roulette. I worked in a Catholic Hospital as a Labor & Delivery nurse for 7 years. This was the only form of contraception taught at the hospital. Have you noticed how many children some of the older Catholics have? LOTS.\n\nSafe sex is making sure your male partner wears a condom. Add a spermacidal jelly and calendar sex becomes a "little safer." I strongly suggest that if you are using or thinking of using this form of contraception that you think again. You  chances of becoming pregnant are great. Please look into the "pill." It is the most reliable. Or,  abstinence is even better if you are not married. Go to Planned Parenthood or see a OB-GYN physician to evaluate your options for contraception.

People are ragging on you for something that was probably a typo. Ugh. But yes, sex during your period is perfectly safe. Boy won't get an infection, it won't hurt the girl, and can actually help with cramping! Just make sure you lay down a thick dark towel if you are bleeing heavily and wash off afterwards. You may still need to use lube if you normally do because blood isn't really that great of a lubricant, suprisingly.\n\nSome people go completely squick over this, and some don't. Personally I wouldn't do it because the thought of a blood coated penis really doesn't get me going. But if you and your partner are comfortable with it, go ahead! Baby wipes are great to have next to the bed too if you only have a little clean-up to do.

Sexual position makes no difference at all about whether you have a boy or girl.  Conception takes place hours or days after sex, not during.\nThat being said, there are ways to increase (not guarentee) your chances of a boy or a girl if you choose. \nFor a girl: immediately after a woman's menstrual period ends, she and her partner should have intercourse frequently (at least every other day) until 48 hours before ovulation. Do not have unprotected sex after this point until the next menstrual cycle ends. \nFor a boy: Either abstain from sex or use condoms until 4 days before ovulation. After this point, abstain entirely until 12 hours prior to ovulation; this acts to boost a man's sperm count. During the 12-hour ovulatory window, a couple should have sex, preferably just once. After this, partners must use condoms if they have intercourse again in the next several days. \nAll this assumes, of course, that you know when you ovulate, and that you have regular menstrual periods.  There are kits in the pharmacy to help tell when you ovulate.  It's a good idea to keep track for a few months prior to trying to conceive so that you get to know your cycle.  \nGood luck!

Protection is not foolproof. If you should have started on the 18th, the chances of you being preggers are pretty high since you had sex 10 days before. If you're going to be screwing around, at least learn more about your body first. And remember, the only safe sex is masturb ation.

it's not nasty...\nyou can have sex while you are having your period, it's just a little messy. mastubation is when you touch yourself and/or put something in your vagina like a dildo

Its safe, but it does not mean she cannot get pregnate. Some women have odd cycles and another egg might have already been released. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it can be great sex. Wear a condom, put a towl down, and have fun!!
