How long do you need to wait to have sex after having the miena put in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Mirena (levonorgestrel) is effective immediately if inserted within 7 days after the start of your period. If midcycle at the time of insertion some recommend using a condom for the first week.
