Is it okay to have sex the day after getting the Mirena IUD inserted?

yes but a condom is VERY necessary for 3 weeks after insertion as the IUD isn't effective until then.

thank you so much!!! @mrs.mccormick my doctor wasn't very informative. lol

all she said was no sex for 24 hours but she didn't say anything about a condom...and that's why I'm asking because it seems too good to be true! @mrs.mccormick

lol you're welcome! It would really sick to have gone through the process of getting the IUD and then end up getting pregnant! Plus, if you get pregnant while on the IUD it can be life threatening so be careful! xo

My doctor didn't make me wait she just said use a Condom for a few days just so it can heal and not get infected

But I am also breast feeding! Which is a form of birth control @sophiesmommy7

I was told not to have sex for 24 hours and I was good to go...also it said in the little informational packet I was given that it works instantly never heard that it takes 3 weeks for it to work? Like at all lol I just waited a few days so I didn't get an infection

@sharonpaige13, I read over my information packet like 3 times and it didn't say anything about when it starts working. :/ so weird right?! Well today is the 3rd day do you think I'll be good to go??

@sophiesmommy7, oh yeah! I mean I did after 3 days and trust me I'm not pregnant and I'm healthy lol
