We ttc for a long time, finally got pregnant, and then when I was about 5 weeks we had sex and the next day I started to spot brown blood (like before AF starts) and after going backwards and forwards between the early pregnancy unit and my doctor, I miscarried.

I can’t help but blame myself and feel it’s too much of a coincidence that we had sex and the next day I started bleeding... I have read mixed things on this, I read an article saying doctors often put sex down as a cause of miscarriage in the first trimester, but on here people say it categorically can’t cause it. I guess no one will really know as it’s not something they can do trials on etc! I just notice a link where others have had sex and then miscarried soon after... so I can’t help but think we could have prevented it and it’s eating me up. It wasn’t rough sex or anything just normal.

The whole experience has been horrific. The GP sent me for a scan, the hospital didn’t send my notes to say I miscarried, so I got a call from the midwife to book in my 12 week scan as she had no idea. This happened in September. Then I called my doctor this week for a prescription and he had no idea I miscarried they still had me down as pregnant.

Feeling so down and miserable. Want a little one so badly and I feel like if we did things differently it wouldn’t have happened.

Can sex cause miscarriage? I know there’s nothing I can change now. I was hoping this would have been our month but no 😞
