Sex After Conception: Safety & Early Pregnancy Concerns

Question
QUESTION: I am trying to get pregnant for the first
time. Me and my husband had sex everyday til a couple
days after ovulation. Well we have
done so and are now past my ovulation time. I was wondering
if it is safe to have sex again and if it is safe for a
woman to have an orgasm during really early pregnancy. I
don't want to cause any harm to the early stages of the
pregnancy, and disturb my body from settling in to the early
stages of baby developing. I fear that if we have sex/orgasm
that it may contract the wall of my uterus and disturb
things. Please let me know. I am too early to take a
pregnancy test, yet over ovulation, and missing sex. Thanks

ANSWER: Hello Apra from India,

There is no reason for you to avoid having sex  Normal couples all over the world do that all the time despite not knowing that they are pregnant or have an embryo developing.

QUESTION: I have one more doubt i.e. should we use protection after conceiving? Do women ovulate during pregnancy?
Or if we do without protection, is there any chances that due to release of sperm in fallopian tubes, developing embryo turns into twin embryos??

ANSWER: Hello Again,

The answer to all of the new questions is NO.
