How soon after getting an IUD can you have sex?

Question

I'm getting Skyla next week on Wednesday and my boyfriend is coming back after his 2 week trip on Friday. Would I still be able to have sex with him or do I have to wait? I heard that if you get an IUD while you're on your period you're already protected.

Answer

I waited 10 days. I was so nervous to have sex after the placement. you may have really bad cramps for the first few days.

Answer

I was told to wait a month

Answer

You should wait at least one week due to high risk of infection

Answer

Your doctor will tell you. I had to wait 48 hours before anything could go in and a week for it to be effective.
