Is it dangerous to have sex before your period?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my girlfriend on the two nights before her period, such as on the nights of the 27th and 28th, and she started her period in the morning on the 29th. Will this be a problem? I used a condom.
Her period is already more than half a month late... I've been very tired at work lately.

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned, having intercourse around the time of your period or just after it, is relatively safe. The chances of getting pregnant without contraception during these times are not high, so you don't need to worry too much about it. If you don't plan to have children for the time being, it's important to always use contraception during sexual activity.
