You do not need to wait to have sex after your intrauterine device (IUD) is inserted. However, there may be some uncomfortable side effects that occur for a day or two after implantation. Make sure you know whether your IUD is effective before having unprotected sex.
IUDs are 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. However, the type of IUD you choose and the timing of the IUD insertion affect whether the device begins protecting against pregnancy right away.
