IUD feeling it

I had an IUD put in right after I had my second child. It seems to be great, and wasn't that bad to put in. I was wondering about my husband feeling it though. He said it pokes him....I've had it since May 2004, however he hasn't said anything lately. Do the strings eventually become softer?

Hi meghanshoemake, welcome!

Yes, over time the strings do get softer and wrap around the cervix. Sometimes, if the strings are cut very short, what happens is that the ends will poke the user's partner. I hope your strings are no longer a problem. Thanks for posting.

Good Luck,

my dh says he doesn't feel it.I've had mine for about a year.If he feels it I would see if your dr could cut the strings shorter.Sometimes I'm able to feel more of mine at different times of the month......
