21 tabs contraceptive pills?

im just wondering if it is safe to have sex within the 7 days interval of not taking the pills. what i mean is that, after my 21 tabs there should be 7 days rest period of not taking the pill before taking another set. and also within that period i may have my menstruation usually on the 5th day. so, is it ok to have sex even though im not taking the pill within that period? tnx=)

Answer:
your doctor should have explained this to you.It is also explained in the leaflet that comes in the box with the pill

Anyway...if you took your pill correctly for the 21days (ie you took it on time, you had no diarrohea or vomiting within the 4 hours after taking the pill, no antibiotics etc)then you are perfectly fine to have sex on the 7 pill free days
this is what the pill is for, if you take it per the instructions, 21 days on and 7 off you should not get pregnant. You are supposed to have that 7 day not taking the pill. Many pills have a 28 day pack to you are actually taking "fake" non hormone pills for 7 days
If you have been taking the pills consistently then you are protected during the seven day break. But if you missed a pill in the week before the break then you need to use condoms too until you have had seven active pills in a row after the break.
