A member asked:

I am 5.5 weeks pregnant and on heprin, since i have had 5 miscarriages! last night after intercourse i had some bleeding! does heprin cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There is increased vascularity of the cervix and vagina during pregnancy and the trauma of intercourse may induce bleeding in someone on heparin. If the bleeding persists more than a day, see your doctor.
