Hi everyone I have a few question's that hopefully some of you could answer for me I was told by my doc that I shouldn't have intercourse until 1 month after my miscarriage because I could get an infection in my ovaries or my cervix and that I could end up pregnant and miscarry again and I didn't wait i had intercourse 2 week's after my miscarriage which i shouldn't have but did and i was wondering if anyone could give me feed back on if you had sex after your miscarriage before you should have or if your doc told you the same as mine told me...thanx

Trying to think back here on what I was told about that. I had a D&C with my first loss and my 2nd/3rd happened naturally. After my D&C and 2nd loss, I had a follow up appointment with my Dr. something like 2 or 3 weeks later, and if I'm remembering right I think they said not to have intercourse until after the follow up appt. I didn't. They just said it was to allow healing. My 3rd m/c started in the same night as my positive home test, and I'm kind of ashamed to say I didn't seek any medical attention right away, but I did follow the same instructions I had received previously with regards to aftercare and sex. I guess I just kind of figured if I hadn't tested way early that 3rd time, I wouldn't have known.
I think given what your Dr. said, it might be good to call him/her. I know it might feel awkward, but at least you won't have to wonder.

I had a D&C with a follow up appt at 2 weeks. I was given the go ahead at the two-week appt., but told to use birth control for 3 cycles.

I gave birth to my daughter at 19 weeks and doc told me to follow everything as if I had had a full term birth. Therefore, no sex till 6 week checkup. Dh and I had sex 2 weeks after my loss. I just wanted to be close to him and sex did not bother me physically but mentally I did not feel very good about it. For some reason I was equating sex with the loss. I have had 2 periods since the loss and I just picked up an Rx for bc pills to start.

I had a natural miscarriage at 9 weeks - no D&C was required. My doctor did not put any restrictions on intercourse. She just cautioned me to use a form of birth control (i.e. condoms) until after I had my first period following the miscarriage. I had read on different websites that you are to wait a month - and that's what I did. However, as I said, my doctor did not say to wait.

My dr didn't tell me to wait. I went to him and he said that everything was fine, but not to wait for intercourse. I didn't either. I wish I had though. But no, my dr. never told me that I should wait.
