hello. so yesterday i had an IUD fitting and it went well. so far not to much bleeding and cramps havent killed me although they definately hurt. My boyfriend came with me and we were told no sex for 24 hours and we were originally gonna keep by that but we hadnt seen each other in a while and we ended up doing the deed only about an hour or 2 after. i read the leaflet about the IUD the doctor gave me and it said it works immidiately after insertion, however because we got carried away in first 24 hours will anything happen? and why do people wait 24 hours in the first place?

    Hello

    They tell you that because there is a chance of infection. Also they also tell you that the male will not feel it. That is a lie for some men.

    We had 2 kids 11 month's apart. My x-wife got one put in. The string cut me real bad. The doctor cut the string to make it more comfortable for me. She had to have it taking out. because it did not stopped anything. In 2 years she miscarried 12 times ( She never carried pasted 8 weeks ) Even when she had it removed on the chart it said that fetus was aborted at removal so be careful. )

    Be Safe........Ken

      It is no problem and thank you. I know it like 34 years ago maybe there better but who know. The string that wan it got in the way and I know this is a little personnel when your having fun your nor worried about a string.

      It is suppose to be put out of the way. Just let your boyfriend know that is not the place you what to get cut and start bleeding.

      Have fun and be safe....Ken

    youre supposed to wait 24 hours for risk of infection. and to reduce the risk of it moving. gives it a chance to settle. the womb can still reject the coil.
