What if I’m bleeding after sex?
It’s unlikely you’re bleeding after sex just because you have an IUD. Spotting or unscheduled bleeding is common in the months after IUD insertion. But if this spotting pattern sticks around for a long time, there’s a chance the IUD is in the wrong position or has been partially dislodged.
You can check your IUD strings if you’d like reassurance that it’s still in place, but it’s not 100 percent necessary and docs are divided on whether it helps. If you normally can feel the strings and suddenly can’t, call your doctor. They can do an exam to make sure the IUD is still sitting pretty inside your uterus.
What about period sex?
If you and your partner are into it (and you’re both clear of STIs), it’s perfectly safe to have sex while on your period, regardless of an IUD. Boning while surfing the crimson wave is totally your call.
Your IUD won’t limit your ability to enjoy any sexual position you please.
You know your body best. Call your gyno A-S-A-P if you feel like something is off or if you experience any of these issues:
- symptoms of a blood clot
- pain during sex
- extreme cramping
- bleeding after sex
- heavy spotting between periods
- any changes in your menstrual bleeding
- inability to find your IUD strings
- feeling the IUD sticking out of your cervix
- pregnancy symptoms
Important reminder on STIs
IUDs DO NOT protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as these:
- 1.HIV
- 2.herpes
- 3.chlamydia
- 4. gonorrhea
- 5. syphilis
- 6.trichomoniasis
- 7. human papillomavirus (HPV)
Always use condoms or another barrier method if you’re not 💯 percent sure you’re in the clear unlimited sex joy.
IUDs are super effective. Once an IUD is inserted, you don’t have to worry about baking a bun in your oven for years. And if you change your mind, removal is a breeze.
If you want an IUD, don’t worry about the device killing your mojo. It may actually give your love life a beautiful boost. When you know you’re protected, you can enjoy
