A member asked:
How long do you need to use a condom after getting a mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One month: In a typical patient, i would recommend that they use backup birth control for the first month after insertion. This would vary depending on the patient, and this is not specific advice to you in this situation - also ask your doctor!
