Pain came back

Hi all,

I can’t believe I am writing this because I never really share or post anything to forums but I had a miscarriage 23 days ago and I feel so alone and detached from the sensations in my body. I was 7 weeks pregnant and 40 years old.

It was painful and miserable but I thought I was back to normal after two weeks of pain. The nurse told me it was safe to resume sex after two weeks but use contraception until after my first period. I had sex yesterday and it was very painful and now it’s 4 am here and I woke up with this lower abdominal pain that’s really troubling. It’s not excruciating or anything but it’s definitely the same type of pain I was experiencing in the days after the miscarriage, this dull pressure that becomes sharp if you sneeze or cough. Has anyone ever experienced such a thing? The pain was completely gone for at least 10 days and now back. Could sex trigger this? Or is this an infection? Or normal?
