Sex After Miscarriage
Posted: 06-18-06 21:02pm

I just had a miscarriage yesterday and wanted to know when I can starting trying to get pregnant again. I had heard I need to wait 3 weeks. If this is so, is it ok to have oral and anal sex in the mean time?

I've never experienced a miscarriage, but three weeks seems awfully short to me. Your body needs time to recover. I would *think* six weeks or longer would be better, but you should check with your doctor to be sure. Oral and anal sex should be completely fine, in the meantime. Good luck.

Your doctor should advise you, as to your particular situation, when the best time for you to start trying again is. Did you have a .D & .C? You shouldn't even be having sex for 2 weeks after a .D & .C to prevent infection. It is normal to have doctors say to wait 3 months before trying again.

My doctor told me to wait until I had at least 1 period to start trying again.
Also to use protection before that since you ovulate before you get that first period. Yeah, but see what your doctor says.
