Thank you. I have been talking to a close friend and they said it could have been because I didn't want the sex aswel is why it could have hurt cause I was tense rather than relaxed. I dunno tho :/  I'm not even thinking about letting another man close until I cn trust him. Xx

Some guys just **** me off being so insensitive. I'm sorry about your miscarriage Marie and I hope things get better for you. After my D&C I waited about a month until I was comfortable having sex again. Mentally and physically I just wasn't ready. Maybe talking to someone and letting out how you feel and such can help you over come trying to have sex again. I'd say because you only waited a week... you probably weren't 100% healed and that's why it hurt you. Concernedstepsister is right perhaps you should go at it alone until you feel comfortable too.

I'm sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage as well. I didn't experience any pain having sex afterwards, but my doctor recommended waiting 2 weeks, which I did. This might sound really forward, but if you're really that scared try using a masturbatory aid (like a dildo) with some lubricant, of course. At least that way you don't have to worry about freaking out with a partner; you can do it alone and see how you feel. It's weird; I didn't have any pain with sex, but I cannot wear tampons anymore. It might just be psychological, but they are uncomfortable since the miscarriage. If you do have pain, see your doc.
