A member asked:

I got the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud put in about 2 weeks ago. i am scared to have "rough" sex. can sex move the iud out of place? what are the chances?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Unless you physically go in and pull the strings with an instrument, you will not move the iud. Sex will not move it, so no worries.
