I know this has been addressed in a poll on this board, but I want to know if there are studies that show how often a partner feels the IUD strings.
I am considering the Mirena, which would have been great to get when ds was 6 weeks but now he is 11 months and dh thinks it sounds like a better idea. Sheesh! Anyway, I have a friend who had a Mirena and had to have it removed because her dh felt the strings. Also, dh’s ex wife had a copper IUD and he could feel the strings with that one.
Are the strings different in Mirena vs copper? It just seems strange that the only two women I know of IRL who had the IUD had the same problem, and they are totally different builds. One is about a size 0/1 and one is at least a size 20.
Oh, and my first preference is Implanon but nobody in my area inserts them yet.
Thanks for any input.

I hope that other than the strings it was a good experience for you.

I am sorry to hear it, but I am glad that you are educated and were able to find something that works for you. I am lucky not to have many issues with hormonal bc, so that is not one of my worries. I hope I am right!
