I have to wait until at least 8 weeks if not longer. But my doctor gave me the Depo shot before I was discharged so that I would be covered IF something happens before getting the Mirena. It has the same hormone levels as the Mirena.
I just asked about IUD's today at my 6 week, and I was told you have to wait at least 8 weeks because the uterus is still contracting, and it could cause permanent damage beingh put in before everything is in its place.
