That damn string is stabbing the hell out of me. She's had it in for 2 months - the string is supposed to be soft by now.

It has not curled around the cervix like the doc said. If I use my hand, I can feel the end of the strings about 2 1/2 inches or 3 inches in, they are pretty long, I'd say near 3" long, definitely not short - as she is a tall woman and I am a tall guy.

But those strings stab the hell out of me about 2/3 the way down my penis, and if we are 'grinding' they can stab into the urethra and it is painful enough that it ruins the sex.

She's otherwise fine, bit of spotting but I don't care about that. I just don't like getting stabbed by this wire (or two, feels like there are 2 strings in there).

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?

I was just Googling this topic because I have bad cramps for days after intercourse, making me dread it. I have an old school iud because I didn't want the hormones that the Mirena emits. I also have pain when my baby sits or stands on my lap. It has just been bothering me. I made a perfectly good baby and had a really easy pregnancy because I have a perfectly functioning uterus. Why did I go effing it up with an iud?! I'm taking it out. BTW, I've read that it is more comfortable to have it out around one's period. I had been using nfp for years. I'm going to start practicing that method again. The one day I didn't follow it, I got preggers. So, it definitely works for me.

Wow...I think I'm glad I didn't get Mirena. I've had a paraguard in for a few months shy of 5 yrs and my husband has only said he felt something one time. I did have some issues the first week. The strings were wayyy to long and were poking right at the inside of my vagina. The doc cut them shorter and it was much more pleasant. I did cramp for the first few months off and on...ibuprofen took care of that. Normal periods..occasional heavier period. I love my IUD.

Fast Forward. After having sex with my husband sitting almost upright i felt a sharp pain and even thought I was able to finish having sex I continued to hurt. Then I started to bleed. After a couple of days I went to see my Nurse Practioner and she said I have a small tear on the outside of my uterus, but doesn't think the IUD caused it. It's been a week now and I'm still bleeding off and on and a slight achey feeling. If it doesn't stop by Monday I'm going to call a GYN and see what they have to say. anyone else have any problems with tears?

I was really hesitant to get the mirena at first because of all the stories on these forums. But after talking with my doctor, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I can always get it removed if it didn't work out.

I had it inserted 3 days ago. The insertion was a bit painful, but I've had worse pain. The sex though was not painful at all and hubby never complained. My doc told me that the men who feel the strings it's because they know that the strings are there and the pain is all in their heads. The strings are soft nylons that bend, and is thinner than your hair. She showed me the UID and the strings and I really believe her when she says, it's all in your head.

No, it is not ALL in their heads. My husband has had it poke him on several different occasions since I had my IUD inserted mid-January. Doesn't happen every time we have sex, but usually does if we do missionary position and it has once from behind. We didn't even know there was a possibility of this being an issue during sex, so it's not like he made something up the first time it happened - the needle prick was very real and painful for him. We kind of shrugged it off that first time, but now that it's happened several more times, it's making it very difficult for us to relax and enjoy each other for fear of him being poked.

I am also having lots of spotting and ruined panties. I don't have the cramping other women have complained of, but the random bleeding isn't any fun. I plan to call my gyno and see what can be done. If they can't fix it so sex is enjoyable...out it goes!

I have had the mirena for a year now and I have been having the same problem with painful sex and very painful cramps as well as a tender stomach. I am glad I finally did the research because I want to get it taken out and now I know it isn't just me.
I have been reading post from different place all day and I find that people are having the same problems.
My doctor tried to tell me that there was no way my husband could feel anything. But he knows he felt it and so do I.
Thanks

Hi, I thought my boyfriend was joking when he said it hurt at first. Every time he goes deep he would tell me his penis hurts on the tip and it would hurt for days. He thinks it might be the IUD, but I told him the doctor says you're not supposed to feel it. I am glad to hear that other men are also having this same problem. Know I know it has to be the IUD. I have already cut the string once before but my boyfriend is still feeling it. I guess I would have to take the IUD copper out and find a new method of birth control as well.

I have been having cramps ever since I had the Mirena put in. I take Tylenol and Ibprofen and there is nothing that is getting rid of it. I told my gyn and he just tells me it will go away that maybe I am just ovulating. My husband and I were just talking and he says he can feel it when we have sex and that it hurts him. I know they are not supposed to feel it. So I am wondering whats going on. I have trouble remembering to take the pill so this was the best option for me. But if we cant enjoy ourselves why keep it in?

I just had my IUD put in about 3 weeks ago. I waited 2 weeks before trying to have intercourse with my husband. The pain was so terrible we had to stop. I have been having cramps, sensitive breast and strong emotional surges. After reading up on it now, Im getting it out and my hubby has volunteered to get snipped.

I have had my IUD in for lets see now, 3yrs? I believe. That sounds about right, well I will tell you in the beginning my husband complained A TON about the strings poking him, but after about 3 or 4 months, they have naturally curved to the opening of my uterus so they do not bother him anymore......As far as your cramping and bleeding after sex, this too has just recently started happening to me as well. I wish i knew why especially since I have had mine if for 3yrs and never had ANY problems with it, heck I hardly even get a period which for most women is a blessing, but like said just recent as of about 3 months ago, i started to cramp after sex, and then about an hour after that i would have light pinkish brown bleeding. If you find an answer do share!

I have had an iud in for about 6months now. I have not had any pains or cramping other than the usual from sex. My husband is rather large and he does feel the "poke" from the strings. My periods have not changed in any way. The problem that i am having is that today, after intercourse while laying in bed enjoying the aftermath i noticed that I was bleeding. It is not my period. I have a lot of blood basically dripping. It does not hurt or anything and I don't know what to make of it. I am bleeding as if I am cut. Does anyone know what could cause this? he felt the jab more this time than any time before.

I have had my IUD for 6 months. I am seriously considering taking it out! I usually have rough sex with deep penetration. But the last few times I have beld afterward. I can feel this thing and it is uncomfortable. And my boyfriend has been stabbed in the penis. Can this thing move at all.... is this a bad thing... or is it normal?

I had pain for a while and my regular dr told me it was all in my head so I went somewhere else. The Nurse there told me that it was a good thing that I came in since I have a cyst that would have burst if my husband and I had had intercourse the wrong way and made me even sicker. to say the least I had it removed and although I have some pain still it is nothing like it was before and YAY it made my sex drive come back just like it was before I had my son.
