It depends: to the location of the placenta. if you have a condition like placenta previa then you're doctor would advise you not to have orgasms of any kind. Otherwise it will not cause miscarriage but may be just cramps from uteine contractions.

No: Orgasm regardless of the source or week of pregnancy does not cause miscarriage unless there is a significant complication to the pregnancy first. Hope this helps.
