Taking misoprostol is to cause a miscarriage (I was 9 weeks with an embryo that hadn't even developed enough to have a heart and was 3mm long). In fact I am wondering if there is any danger of having sex 1 week after taking the medication (and stopping the bleeding). I didn't get the info when I went to get the medicamenent.

Good evening ma'am,

It is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks after a miscarriage or taking a medication like misoprostolol to induce a miscarriage before having sex.

Good evening,
