How long should I wait to have sex after Mirena IUD Insertion??

I'm working in China and I just had the Mirena IUD inserted to control heavy premenapausal bleeding. My (Chinese) doctor says I can't have "sexual activity" for a month - but I wonder if doctors say this in Western countries, or of she is just being conservative. I can't get pregnant anyway (my tubes have been tied) - so is it ok to have sex? Has anyone else been told this? What about orgasms without intercourse - would that be ok? Thanks!

I am an OBGYN in california, IUD is the best and you can have intercourse same day.

I had my mirena put in 2 days ago, my doctor told me to wait until the bleeding stops to have sex. It has stopped, we had sex today- very carefully to not mess anything up down there, but I am spotting. Is that normal?

It's normal (not unusual, anyway) to bleed for months after having Mirena inserted. We would never consider using Mirena again after this experience.

If I had an iud inserted a week ago is it safe to have sex.
