You would have to wait at least a couple weeks anyway to let your body heal but maybe you both can use that time to help each other emotionally heal too. It's hard for both but that's when you need to support each other the most. A little suggestion - don't let intimacy and having a baby merge into the same action. Be intimate as a couple whether your week is green or not.
sex after miscarriage
I'm not sure where to post this. I just found out today that I have miscarried. My husband has let me know that it is going to be a few before he's ready to have sex again. Which is what I've been fearing... That he won't want me any more. But he says he's hurting right now and he wants more children (we have a 6 yr old son been ttc baby #2 for 3 1/2 yrs). I understand his pain and wanting to wait before we are intimate again. I just don't want things to change between us. Just curious if your sex lives returned to normal or awkward at first or did it change for better or worse. Thank you.

After I had my miscarriage in April I was told not to have sex for a while and just take it easy and wait . Me and my boyfriend got a lot closer when we went through the miscarriage and when it came to doing stuff again it wasn't bad . It was like back to normal but of course I was upset a lot cuz I was no longer pregnant we never used condoms and I ended up pregnant again in June and I'm now 14 weeks and everything seems to be going good :)
I could understand how he feels we had sex right after i stop bleeding because i was really horny after but i had felt like i got raped but my husband was like it will get better he stayed hopeful when i was ready to give up because i really didnt think i was attractive to him i mean i just lost his baby but it got better. He needs time to grief to. My husband told me the day we lost our child he lost his wife i didnt let him grief because im still getting through it myself and he says he has to be strong for me so give him time he loves you and it will be good for your relationship
I miscarried 3 weeks ago. Since my doctor said it was ok we decided to have sex. It wasn't awkward or anything it felt normal it felt right. My husband was hesitant at first, he treats me like I'm fragile. It was a little painful at first but then it was fine. Please make sure you give your body enough time to heal.
First you need to take time for your body to heal. After that you both have to decide when you're ready to have sex again. Sometimes you can get right back to it but depending on how far you were and seeing how long you've been trying there was a lot of hope and joy in this pregnancy. You both suffered a loss and will each handle it differently. Be supportive of each other. There's no reason your sex life shouldn't resume as normal when you're both ready.
