Posted by: annie on 20 March 2009

i had a threatened miscarriage round about a month and a half ago? my doc said we should refrain from intercourse until 12weeks. because your first 12 weeks are critical? when will it be Ok to have intercourse again??

Answer

If your doctor suggested 12 weeks, then at least stick to 12 weeks, however, if you can make it a bit longer it will always contribute. When having intercourse, just check for bleeding after woods and if it happens refrain for at least one more month.

Kind regards
Welma
