Scared to have sex after D&C

heathieo

I had the procedure done 2 weeks ago today and I am scared to have sex--I don't know if I am worried that it's going to hurt or if emotionally I am not ready yet.  The miscarriage began July 29th so it's been quite some time now.  Not sure if anyone else has had similar feelings.

DH and I waited maybe 3-4 weeks before having sex again.  Physically it was completely fine (the doctor gave us the green light at 2 week post-op visit and reco'd taking measures to TTA).  Emotionally was a different story.  During was fantastic because of the deep emotional connection.  But afterwards?  I randomly broke  down into tears at the thought that we could accidentally get pregnant too early (we were told to wait 2 cycles first).

Just do whatever you are comfortable with.  It's different for every couple and only you will know when you're ready (physically and emotionally) again to be intimate.

I'm so glad that you posted this because I have been scared as well. It's a completely emotional thing for me, and I'm not sure why (especially because we have infertility issues, so sex isn't tied into pregnancy.)  I thought it might help to just "do it" to get over my fear, but I ended up in tears because of the emotional craziness. I am very worried about how long this is going to last. Know that you're not alone.

We were told to wait 6 weeks after D&E.  I was ready to throw in the towel at 3 weeks but DH was too scared.  Seems like we have switched places this week and now I'm scared of getting pregnant before our saline u/s and having to go through all of this again.  Yuck.  Hugs to everyone.  It is so nice to know we aren't alone!

I was 2 weeks post D&C yesterday and I had my follow up appt on tuesday. We were given the ok to have sex at my appt. I was nervous but I wanted that emotional connection with my DH. Just do what feels right for you.
