Can I have sex this weekend?

My doctor has had me on pelvic rest for the past month. First due to threatened miscarriage and more recently due to actual miscarriage. I've been traveling for work a lot so it hasn't made much difference. I'm finally getting home again tonight (yay!). The thing is, my husband leaves on his own work trip Monday (for the next week) and I haven't actually been cleared for sex by my doc.

The bleeding started 9 days ago and seems to be over now. I did a blood test a few days ago to check that HCG levels were coming down, but I haven't heard the result of that yet. I'll call my doc first thing Monday morning, but is there a good reason I couldn't have sex on Sunday?

I'm pretty sure when I had my m/c they told me 6 weeks, but I also had a D&C. Like Bricco said, I'd be concerned about introducing bacteria. I'm sorry.

I would wait because of infection risk.

You were pretty early and passed it naturally right? If so I wouldn't worry about sex this weekend. Maybe not the 'right' answer.

Yes. Not that far along and no drugs or D&C. When I started bleeding heavy they did an ultrasound and it showed an empty uterus. I bled for like 6 days, but there's been nothing the past few.

I guess we could fool around without actual penetration. Before the miscarriage they told me no orgasms either, because they didn't want the uterus contracting. But I can't see what harm that would do now.

I'm desperate guys! lol!

We did. A few days after the bleeding stopped. The doctor had said to wait a week.

After my miscarriage last fall (took miso and passed everything without a D&C) the doctor said sex was okay after the bleeding had stopped.

I am sorry for your loss.
