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?
