There is always a space between when I stop taking the pill and when I have my period. Is it safe to have sex during that time? Please help!

If you are correctly taking your pills for 21 (or more) days, then taking no more than 7 - 24 hour days off, you are protected from pregnancy at all times. There are no "unsafe" days to have sex while using hormonal contraception, that is part of the point!
