Hello!
Thanks for your query.
In most cases, it’s safe to resume sex after a miscarriage once the miscarriage bleeding has stopped.
Generally this takes two weeks, however, all women vary.
You want to wait until after the bleeding stops to give your cervix time to close up.
Your body goes through a physical process from the miscarriage as your cervix dilates.
Sex during this period of time increases your chances of infection in the uterus.
The stopped bleeding is a signal that sex is safe to resume.
