A member asked:
What to do if i had my birth control pill for 21 days and on the 21st day i had my iud mirena (levonorgestrel) fitted, when can i have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within 24 hours: Mirena will provide immediate protection against pregnancy if the system is fitted as recommended within seven days of the beginning of your period. However it is best to wait at least 24 hours before having sexual intercourse. Mirena will affect your periods.
