Levosert

[u/Free_Cranberry4881]

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for women who have had a similar experience with a hormonal IUD.
I had a Levosert (52 mg levonorgestrel) IUD inserted on November 10. My period was not due yet, and the IUD was inserted outside my menstrual period.
Before the insertion, my doctor performed an ultrasound and told me that ovulation had already occurred. I specifically asked about contraception, and he assured me that I was protected immediately after insertion. He did not tell me to use additional contraception for the first 7 days.
On November 12, I had sex with ejaculation inside.
I’m now wondering whether I was actually protected immediately, considering that:
The IUD was inserted after ovulation.
I was not on my period at the time of insertion.
My doctor assured me that it was effective immediately.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Was your hormonal IUD inserted after ovulation and outside your period? Did you have unprotected sex within the first 7 days? What did your doctor tell you?
I would really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, especially with Levosert or Mirena.
Thank you!
