I cant remember how long my doctor said to wait to have sex after the colposcopy.. we plan to use protected just wasnt sure for my body.. I tried to call her but she is gone for the day.. anyone have suggestions?

i was told four days, but bled after foreplay, so i just restarted my abstinence clock and i think i'll give it a week or so. most sites say a week and even up to a month.

I was told 1-2 weeks after colposcopy as well.

my doctor told me to wait 5 days after the bleeding had stopped.

I got directions for one week as well...

thank you guys for the info :)

My Doctor told me to wait one week to allow the cervix time to heal, etc.

my doc. told me at least one maybe two weeks it depeneded how the bleendin and how ur body feels i only waited 1

I wasn't ever given direction to abstain from sex after any of my colposcopies until the last one I had. It was with a different doctor and she was very aggressive with the ecc - so I'm not sure if it was because of that or if it is her standard recommendation anyhoo - she said no sex for 2-3 days (or until the bleeding stopped).
Hope that helped....
