No, it is not safe to have sex during your period... especially if your cycle lasts less than 20 days. There are many contraceptive methods but the safest are these 3: condom, birth control pills, and/or an intra uterine device (IUD).For your age group, I recommend condoms or birth control pills. A condom protects you from both unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). If you have many sexual partners, I recommend you use condoms. If you have a stable relationship with only one partner who is also faithful to you, then I recommend you use birth control pills (oral contraception). An IUD is not recommended for women who haven’t delivered yet.
