Is the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud a good method of birth control, and when is the best time to have it inserted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excellent.: It's an excellent method for birth control. It can be inserted any time. Some providers prefer you to be on your period for the insertion, but you really don't have to be.
