I had a miscarriage about three weeks ago. I had to have a d&c on the 7 because of how far along I was. Well come to find out I had a molar pregnancy which devistated me because from what I found out it happens 1 in 1500 pregnancies....why me? but anyway my question is me and my boyfriend had sex on the 11th even though my doctor said to wait 4 weeks. Can anything bad happen to me because we've had sex and continue to besides what the doctor said? why do they tell you to wait?

I found this:
Follow-up
After evacuating a molar pregnancy it is critically important that the patient see her doctor frequently, as molar pregnancies can recur. Follow-up usually consists of a baseline chest x-ray, review of the pathology specimen, physical examination of the vagina and uterus every 2 weeks until the uterus returns to normal then every 3 months for a year, contraception like the pill or shot with no attempt to become pregnant for 1 year, and, most importantly, weekly HCG blood levels until zero then every month for a year. As one can see, this involves a lot of trips to the lab and the doctor’s office! This is important because molar pregnancies can “come back” even after a thorough D&C. When they come back the patient may need chemotherapy to prevent the microscopic placental cells from spreading to other organs like cancer. Fortunately, this only occurs in about 20% of complete molar pregnancies; it is even more uncommon with partial molar pregnancies. Many women are frustrated when their doctor recommends waiting one year to become pregnant. This is actually important, because a rise in HCG levels may indicate a normal pregnancy when the patient is trying to get pregnant, or a recurrent molar pregnancy, which requires chemotherapy. To avoid this confusion we ask for a 1 year period without becoming pregnant

They want you to wait becuz after a D&C, everything has to thicken up again on the lining of your uterus.
If youre pregnant from having sex that time, there may be a chance of another miscarriage. Im sorry, but this is true.
My sister had many miscarriages and had to have more than one D&C.
I wish you the best.....and quit messing around!..lol...Youre spose to wait!

I am an OB Gyn nurse and you can definitely do severe damage to yourself and prevent yourself from conceiving if you do not do what your doctor tells you to do. Stop having sex now. Wait the 4 weeks! It is ok to be stimulated by your clitoris and to give him oral sex is fine but do not be penetrated

Your body needs to heal from the miscarriage. Having sex can cause infection or the wounds to reopen.

they dont tell you that to stop your sex life its to allow your body time to heal physically and emotionally and while it may take much longer for you to heal emotinally it is a real risk for you to get pregnant so soon it can cause alot of problems for you and your unborn child be patient if it happened once it will happen again let yourself heal God Bless
