first period after mirena insertion
An IUD (intrauterine device) is a small, T-shaped device that’s placed in your uterus by your healthcare professional to prevent pregnancy. Getting an IUD does not involve surgery, but instead, can be placed during a routine in-office visit or immediately after giving birth. Once in place, it provides continuous, highly effective birth control.
You may experience pain, bleeding, or dizziness during and after placement. If your symptoms do not pass within 30 minutes after placement, Mirena may not have been placed correctly. Your healthcare professional will examine you to see if Mirena needs to be removed or replaced.

If pain is a concern for you, ask your healthcare professional about taking over-the-counter pain medication before the procedure.
no, Mirena can be removed at any time by your healthcare professional. You could become pregnant as soon as Mirena is removed, so you should use another method of birth control if you do not want to become pregnant.
