They are mostly safe, unless you get a faulty one. The best methods is to be on the pill and make him use a condom, doubley sure.

Susan Strict agony auntCondoms are about 85% effective at stopping pregnancy (source: Epigee Women's Health - www.epigee.org), which, obviously, means that with everything else equal, you have a 15% chance of getting pregnant - unacceptably high for most people.

There is less chance of becoming pregnant shortly before your period, but that's not guaranteed either: far from it. If, for example, your menstrual cycle was late for any of those hundreds of reasons that can make it late (like worrying about having sex with your boyfriend for the first time), then you could have a problem.

I'm not an expert - take a look at www.birthcontrolcanada.com which has easy to read no-nonsense explanations and options for effective contraception.

A condom is one of the safest methods out there. You should be fine as long as it is put on carefully and doesnt split. I dont think there is any time better than any other really. Be safe and take care x
