Is it safe to have protected sex on 7th of periods (my period lasts 4-5 days)

My cycle is 26-27 days.
The next due date of my periods is 10th or 11th May. It lasts a little more than 4 days.
Is it safe to have protected (condom) sex on 15th or 16th may (these will be the 6th or 7th days of my next cycle)? I need to know for sure. I've never had sex before. Also I wanted to know if it is safer to have protected sex just before periods (like the 24th or 25th day) or just after  periods  (like the 6th or 7th day).
Could you also please tell me if having sex for the first time or in general, delays the next period ?
And to be on the safer side , is it advisable for me have some pill or tablet after sex? Could you suggest something? Do these medicines delay periods?

Good afternoon.

Any time of the month there is a chance of becoming pregnant if that is what you are concern about. You just need to remember to be safe. A condom will never provide 100 percent protection. If I was you I would use a condom and talk to your health care provider about getting on birth control of some type.

Birth control can sometimes delay your period, sometimes and sometimes can even stop your period it just depends on the type you are using. As for the sex itself, I know that when I had sex for the first time I was late on my period that month. Though your menstrual cycle changes over your lifetime, and that is normal. Just be safe and speak to your doctor about some birth control methods.

I hope this helped if you have more questions let me know...

UnsureMS is exactly right.  There is no safe time.  Day 10 really starts when we are most fertile in our cycle but I wouldn't risk it if pregnancy is not something that would be welcome.
