A member asked:
Had mirena (levonorgestrel) placed on day 5 of my cycle. is it effective immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: According to info I researched on Planned Parenthood, Mirena (levonorgestrel) is effective 7 days after insertion. But to be safe, I would use condoms for the first 14 days after insertion.
