Sex after a positive pregnancy test

We just got a positive pregnancy test after our first IVF cycle.  Our RE told us to wait to until we got the results of our beta.  We did, and I'm still super nervous.  We've had sex twice and I'm really scared of miscarrying.  I think I'm going to wait before going at it a third time.  Does anyone think we could have done some damage?

Hi!
Intercourse during pregnancy won't cause miscarriage.  If it did, there would be LOTS of miscarriages!  If you and your partner are nervous about it, it might not be enjoyable though, so for that reason, you might wish to wait until you are a bit further along.
On the other hand, your sex life will definitely never be the same once you have kids, so you might want to take advantage of the time you have now!
Good luck and congratulations!
