I had some light spotting at 12 DPO and a little bit of brown spotting after that. My midwife suggested we not have sex for a week as an overabundance of caution.
if the placenta is low (near the cervix) they will tell you no sex for fear that the placenta will rupture. That also means no big O's of any sort (even without sex). A friend of mine went through that and had to abstain until a later u/s showed that it had grown up and away from the cervix. That happened during her second tri.
