A member asked:

Is it safe to have intercourse at 4 weeks 4 days pregnant? will this cause miscarriage or harm the embryo in anyway?

Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Safe: Should be fine. As long as the pregnancy is ok there should be no issues. Once and a while sex can cause some bleeding from the cervix which is annoying but not harmful.
