How long until IUD is effective?

Question

I just got an IUD in today, and while I am sure these cramps will keep me from having sex for a while, I was curious how long it is until it is effective?

SIDE NOTE: If anyone has tips for these cramps, if love to hear them😩

Answer

I was told to wait a month for unprotected sex, but that's just because it's more likely to expell in that time. And that happened to me so it definitely happens and I had no idea when it happened. But they're generally effective fairly quickly--but from my experience I would definitely wait until your checkup

Answer

Depends on the type of IUD. If it's the hormonal type, depending on where you are in your cycle when it was inserted it may be effective immediately, but if it was me I'd still wait 7 days and be safe. If it's the  non hormonal it's effective immediately.

Answer

As soon as it's inserted. Use heating pad and Tylenol
