First time after m/c

TrickyLittleMinx

So i had a natural miscarriage just over a week ago.. I was only 6 weeks along, so for me it wasn't painful at all. Just some bleeding for a couple of days. Anyway DH and I had sex last night and I was crying in pain. Anyone else experience this?

Did your Dr. tell you to wait longer?  I also had a natural m/c but my Dr. told me to wait 3 weeks to let my body heal completely.

My MW said no sex for one full cycle.  I would call your doctor just to be safe.  Feel better!!

Oh, I am sorry. My DH told us to wait 3 weeks before having sex again. I had a d&c though. I didn't feel ready emotionally though either. I would probably wait a few weeks and then try again. GL>

no - she never told me anything along those lines at all.

She just said that since it was so early that since i wasn't in pain from the m/c i should be fine.. which is weird.

My doctor told me the same thing.

OP: Don't worry- just wait. If, after 3 weeks to a month, it hurts again, then that would be the time to be concerned. Our bodies are still getting over what happened to them, honey!

I was told to wait until after my follow-up appt. on March 12th, which would put me at full month since my natural m/c.  It's crazy that your doc didn't tell you to wait longer.

My dr. told us that we didn't have to wait to have sex but to use a condom.  It wasn't painful for me physically but I did cry the first time we did it after the m/c...don't really know why, just crazy emotions I guess.

Our doctor told us to wait 2 weeks (post D&C though, not natural m/c).

I'm sorry you had so much pain - we found it emotionally challenging, but no pain.  Good luck!

Doc said nothing to us about not having sex or waiting.  I had a natural miscarriage about a week and a half ago. We had sex today and had no problems.  I wasn't even 5 weeks along though.  I have to go in tomorrow for blood work, so maybe I will bring it up if I get to see the doc.

I had a D&C and was told nothing in the vagina for at least two weeks.  I was like "what was that 2 months...ok"   My boyfriend didn't find that as funny as I did.  I would wait at least another week before trying again.  When you have a m/c your cervix is open and it takes a while for it to fully close which leaves you at high risk for infection.  That is the reason the doctor gave me for the two week waiting time.

I had a m/c 2/20 at 12 weeks and the dr. said to wait till my next dr. visit in 6 weeks to have sex.

My natural m/c was about 1 week ago and my Dr. said to wait 2 weeks to have sex. I was 7 weeks along when it happened.

Just the thought of having sex again makes me emotional, so I'm glad to know its not just me.
