A member asked:

How soon after inserting the mirena (levonorgestrel) can i be intimate without backup method? i've had it on for 16 days now. also, when is bleeding supposed to stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mirena (levonorgestrel): If inserted during your cycle it is effective this month, but I tell my patients to avoid unprotected sex until we check to make sure it is in the right place usually 5-6 weeks after placement.
