Having a miscarriage is similar to giving birth. Your cervix dilates, you have contractions, etc. You need to give your body a chance to fully recover before jumping into sex again. Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage back in october and I had a d&e. My doctor told me not to have sex for a week. I don't know if it's different whether you miscarry at home or have the surgery, but for me it was only 1 week (which I waited and then had very gentle sex).

Because of pregnancy hormones, most women have less lubracation than normal women. This can cause for painful sex during pregnancy. It takes usually about 6 weeks for your body to re-adjust to not being preg. So sex may be painful for you anyway. This is probably one of the reasons your md suggested that you wait for intercourse! I am very sorry for your loss! I hope this helps!
