A member asked:
If i got a mirena iud on day 7 of my period, and i had unprotected sex 5 days after that, what are the chances that the iud was effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena IUD works in 2 ways: It acts as an irritant in the Uterus, preventing implantation of fertilized embryos, and the hormone released prevents ovulation. It takes several weeks for the hormonal effect to be fully effective, but in the meantime, the mechanical aspect of this contraceptive is highly effective.
