All of this is true!

the IUD does cause abdominal pain , and it does hurt your partner , i remember when my husband and i would "try " to have sex it was so uncomfortable for me and him.. i would have severe abdominal pain and i would just take the pain to keep him happy but id notice that after a min he would jump off of me and say he didn't like it and it hurt him, i would get really depressed because id think it was me he didn't like.. especially since the Dr. assured me there was no way he would feel the IUD, eventually my depression got worse..My husband started to noticed it so he tried hard to please me but i would notice pain in his face every time, and that's when i knew he really did feel pain, the top of his penis would be red .... i finally got the courage to tell my Dr. to take it out, the Dr. seemed she didnt want me to take it out, she said there was a charge of $175 to get it removed (unless i had a good excuse to get it removed) and if i got it taken out i would never be able to get another one inserted in, i gave her the best excuse, i told her all my symptoms, my pain, my husbands pain and how depressed i was. I told her also I was feeling suicidal because of the depression and my husband not wanting sex with me (i extended the truth abit to make her believe me), she then had it removed for free and referred me to counseling jajaja.. After I got it removed i would say a month later when i was on the shot my husband and I had sex it was the best sex ever no abdominal pain, nothing, thankfully we lived happily ever after.. up till now ive been on the shot for two years and a half.

My Dr. says i need to stop taking it, and find another birth control method because the shot decreases your calcium and she feels people should only be on the shot just two years ...
now i don't know what to take i've tried just about everything and the shot was the best for me , ugh! if its not one thing its another... I just want to say i know the pain with the IUD doesnt get better, it only gets worse if your having pain id say get it checked or removed it might not be for you like it was for me...

My IUD has been nothing but problems. I just hit a year with it and I have been in and out of the gyno office continuously. It causes large cysts and pain for both me and my fiancee. It's to the point now that we don't even have sex anymore. I will have it removed. It was a terrible idea from the beginning. Not only was it EXTREMELY painful to be put in, but it has hurt ever since. Everytime I have sex I get cramos for the rest of the night and he can't even touch the tip of his penis. It is a terrible idea, I RECCOMEND AGAINST THE MIRINA IUD >:(

Damn....I thought I must have been imagining things when I felt that sharp prick on the tip of my penis.....but no, I wasn't imagining it...it was really painful for me ....my wife had the Mirena inserted 3 days ago and she complained about bad abdominal cramps (like she's having her periods) and pain inside her uterus as soon as she left her gynae's table. We had sex last night and when I inserted my penis all the way in, I felt a painful jab on the tip as well as on the pee hole....this really put me off and I pulled out after a few minutes. She didn't feel anything btw. After that, I inserted my index finger inside her vagina to try to "feel" the string, but I didn't feel anything in there that was poking me :?

After this, my wife insisted that she would ride me on top to see if I could still feel the jab......well, it still did a bit but it was not as painful as when I was on top of her. After about 5 minutes (and a few tiny pricks and jabs here & there), I decided I should try again while I was on top and hell!!!...It hurt like crazy....that DAMN string or whatever that was protruding from Mirena jabbed at my tip like a sharp knife.....It didn't feel good at all....

We will go to the gynae again and see what could be done....we really want to keep using Mirena as it is the best alternative to the Pill (which makes her gain a lot of weight).....has anyone had this problem solved without having to remove the Mirena?



Is it just other countries than Australia that has this problem? I had my IUD inserted today, i have had severe cramping (which i've been told will ease off) but due to menorrhagia the only other options were ISAIDS for the rest of my life or a complete hysterectomy. I'd rather see how this goes first. Apart from all of this tho, i was actually told i wasn't to have intercourse till at lease 2 weeks after insertion, maybe other countries don't advise to stop intercourse for at least two weeks after insertion - maybe this is your problem. I'll let you know if in two weeks my partner feels the strings. :P

I have an IUD, and my husband has to stop during intercourse complaining of the "being pricked by a needle" feeling. I also have had sore breasts lately and bleeding afterwards. Almost like when he touches the strings, it throws the whole IUD out of wack and everything goes wrong with my body. I have considered removing it, but just as soon as I make the appointment, my symptoms stop. Not always does this happen either!! I am confused as to what I can do. Get it removed, or get the strings cut shorter and get it checked. Any advice for me??

If the strings are poking your boyfriend, have the doctor re-curl the strings. I was told that if they're too short, they don't curl well which would leave the sharp ends facing out. But if they're long enough and the doctor curls them correctly the sharp ends face in so they can't poke anyone. I had the same problem with my boyfriend. I went to get the strings cut shorter and that's what she told me, so I had her re-curl them instead. We haven't had any problems since then (over a year ago). I have paragard...I'm assuming that their strings are made of the same material as mirena's strings.

I will have had the Mirena IUD for 5 years in March 2011. I have had one child, but she was a c-section. I am having problems with bleeding while having sex. Anyone know what is going on?

I've found out that IUD's and boyfriend's getting poked by the IUD are caused by the strings in the IUD being too long, it's an easy fix simply tell you're Gyno, or Doc and they will fix the problem. If the strings are cut right your partner shouldn't feel them, no matter how big they are.



Yeah my OBGYN said the same thing and so we cut the strings. Guess what my boyfriend still feels them. It hurts him and has ultimately ruined my sex life. We barely have sex now and I think its because every time we do the tip of his penis gets stabbed!

I'd like to say that I've had the mirena since Feb. 09 and I've had many problems with it. But everytime I go to the doctors they say nothing is wrong. At first I was getting very painful cramps and heavy or no bleeding. Now sex in certain positions hurt like hell. I get sharp cramps and then I start to bleed. I get migraines almost everyday of the week and I have also had hairloss. They say It's baby stress. %-) This site kind of gave me the courage to get the mirena removed. I was thinking that they were telling me the truth about all of my symptoms, but all of you have the same as I. My husband also feels the poking of the strings. And it dosen't matter if you wait 2 weeks to have sex. The strings will STILL be there and your man will STILL feel them, until you get it removed. :-D

i also am having severe problems with this coil bleeding and tummy pains most of the time and my boyfriend also complains of pain on the top of his penis. i am bleeding heavily after sex (which because of this coil is not happening alot) i am going to book to have this coil removed as it is the worst contraception i have ever tried and by far the most painful. it is wrong that the doctors do not twell you these stories beforehand. i forgot to mention when i had coil put in i could hardly walk for two days the pain was so bad.

im scared to have it out but i need to for the sake of my relationship.

I got an IUD placed a week ago. Since my Vaginal walls and the outside of my vagina feel like I have Road Rash. Is this normal? I don't feel any problems with my Uterus or any other part of my reproductive system. Just the stinging pain.
