Hello,
It is not safe to have intercourse during a period because of the fact that the soft parts are very vulnerable at that time and therefore more prone to infections. It is safe as far as the risk of conception is concerned. Also, you may consume tablets to postpone periods once but not always. Instead, you can opt for contraceptive pills that can be used continuously without attaining a period. This is also safer toward contraception. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
