A member asked:

In 2010 i had the paragard inserted and just had it removed last week. how long should i wait before having intercourse? what precautions shd i take?

Paragard removal: There is no time frame for sex after removal of paragard. Unless you want to become pregnant, you should start using another form of birth control.
