hi
I have a question, is it safe to have sex during your period? and is it safe if I have sex on the 4th week of my birth control pills(the green pills)?Thanks

Do you mean "safe" as in you won't get pregnant.....or "safe" healthwise? There's nothing wrong with it if you don't mind the messiness.

As for getting pregnant.....if you're on the pill, and you're taking it correctly, meaning every day at the same time, and never missing a pill, you won't ovulate, and if you don't ovulate, you can't get pregnant. The green pills are "markers" or placebos.....they are only there to keep you in the habit of taking a pill EVERY day. They don't contain hormones, because that allows you to have your period. But again, if you're taking them correctly you won't ovulate EVER, and if you don't ovulate, there's no egg to fertilize, and you cannot get pregnant.
