Hello! Thank you for asking Healthcaremagic! I understand your concern! Answer: There is little chance to get pregnant in this phase of the menstrual cycle. The first 7 days from start of menstruation is a safe period for having sex without worry of getting pregnant even without the use of contraceptive. So don't worry! Sometimes periods may delay some days, it is normal!
