I am looking into getting the Mirena IUD as my method of birth control, but I am concerned about how it might be affected by sex. My husband and I tend to get a little rough during sex (mainly deep/hard/fast penetration). I have heard of spotting from sex with people using the ParaGuard, but does the same hold true for Mirena (being a soft flexible plastic)? Will rough sex dislodge the IUD or cause it to tear the uterus any? If you have had any experience with sex affecting the IUD please tell your story. Right now I am debating between getting the Mirena IUD and the Implanon (implant) for my birth control method.

I never had any problems with Mirena. I loved it.

no experience with mirena personally but everyone I know that's had it has had bleeding/spotting problems. I would think you would too, rough sex or not. Also heard of people having them knocked out of place and having to have them replaced or refitted.

Talk openly and honestly with your gynecologist about your concerns...he/she can recommend the best method to suit your situation
